[QUOTE="Laser Dude, post: 1356100, member: 89304"] I wasn't a believer in the beads either. I had tires mounted and balanced 2 days before going on a trip. When I took it for a test ride, it was obvious they didn't balance them well. Massive vibration. My buddy who swears by the beads said "Just give me a chance to try them". He poured them in and I took it for a test ride and it was really smooth except when decelerating hit about 20mph and then it shook for a second. I pulled the weights off, tried it again and it's the smoothest it's ever been. I get no vibration at all. Fast acceleration, hard braking, smooth as glass. I've got about 5,000-6,000 miles on them now with no issues. While many swear they don't work, I've had the opposite experience. They worked for me and they worked very well. Pain in the ass to fill with 90 degree valve stems but once in, they worked as advertised for me. Your mileage may vary. [/QUOTE]
