Hey guys, I have been running the balancing beads in my CT on the back now for about 2000 miles........................seems to be working good with no issues............................

Are any of you guys running the beads up front without any wheel weights? I am wanting to try the beads on my new front tire, but was also hoping to get some feedback here from those who have...............

Thanks,

How many ounces of beads are you running with the CT?

Show, I am using beads in my front AVON and rear CT. 5k miles and no problems at all.

I have been running the beads for a little while now; 1 oz in the front Avon. I really like them and won't be going back to mechanical spin-balancing.

Here's another board's topic on the subject:

Taz makes some interesting points.

Steve,

I've been running the beads front and rear without any weights for nearly four months. I have only logged about 1,000 miles due to the monsoons here in Texas. :roll: So far I am very pleased, really can't tell any difference between balanced tires with weights or beads.

+1 I could not feel any difference. My front tire is starting to show some wear but runs smoth up to 85-90. CT looks like new and runs great.

I've been running them front and rear for 12K. Work great!

Iam using "Equal" on Avon front. No wts. Tire is dead on balanced at any speed. I can see no reason to ever use wts. again.
