They really work
I have 37" BFG MT tires on my jeep, they are about 6 years old and have been wrll used offroad, have tried to have discount tire balance them numerous times and 2 of four just need a ridiculous ammount of weight and still vibrate at 75mph on the highway. I pulled the trigger on these, added 14 oz to both tires, pulled all the stick on weights off, and the tires drive smooth at 75. The only pain was i had to break the beaf and add the balance material to the inside of the tire, would not go through my tire valve.

Working for me.
Used these 8 oz bags for some 30x9.50/15 tires and other than a few times when it took a few moments to balance out from a stop, have felt great and no shakes. Those times it took a moment longer the vibration was mild, and settled out, just fine.

Easy to use
I actually used it today and it was definitely worth the money. Before I bought this tool I would use the little beed bottle and stick it in the valve stem and it would take forever and just took to much time and effort. I definitely recommend this tool if you balance your tires with balancing beeds.

It's a bit tricky to seal but it does do as intended.
As usual comes with a male air coupler that won't be the one you use for your tools probably. That's nothing new with air tools but it did use a 3/8in pipe thread instead of the standard 1/4in you find on most air tools so you'll need an adapter or find your coupler in 3/8 size. Worked fine for me although there's a couple things I would note. The o-ring groove is in the base of course not the acrylic bowl. The bowl has to remain inverted to keep the beads in so the o-ring likes to fall out of the groove as you try to install the base & screw the collar down. When you've finished injecting the media you may want gloves along with the safety glasses. Any beads left in the hose or valve stem will shoot out just like a shotblaster & at least sting your skin.

Valve core does not work with certain tubes
The valve core included that is designed to keep the beads out of the valve seat do not work with some tubes as the red end is too large of a diameter and becomes stuck in the stem. This prevents the valve from closing after you add air. Ended up buying another brand valve core that fit the stems on my tubes.Beads work good but don't do you much good if you can not keep air in the tube/tire.

I had to break the beads
Purchased these to balance my winter tires that had a real bad shimmy starting at 85 Kph on my 2011 Dodge Journey. I don't know where the previous owner of the truck had the tires balanced, but there were weights all over the place in and out. I tried to install them through the valves but could not. It was a real PITA. Then I checked and I had TPMS's directly on the valves. I was lucky enough to have a manual tire machine so I removed the tires , broke the beads and poured a measured 4 ounces per tire. I was done within an hour. I put 2 ounces per tire in my motorcycle through the valves and that went really well. I ordered the 6 ounce bags because I wanted some left in case I spilled some and now I have a spare 4 ounces. Don't do like I did. Read the FAQ on the Counteract website as they definitely do not recommend pouring through the valves if you have TPMS on them. Otherwise, you will have to break the bead. Other than that, I am very satisfied.

NOT EASY INSTALL 2017 Ram NoFault of The Beads
I dont for a second blame the beads for a hard install, had to break outside bead and pour in. Just was a Sunday job all good.Road tested and problem solved.CounterAct called for 6oz but I wasn’t doing it.Used another flavour in the 2015 Burgman 2oz rear 1oz front. Happy with it.Definitely an add on option after a proper electronic balance with inboard and outboard weights applied then add the beads.

NEED TO DOUBLE CHECK TIRE SIZE MET OR IMP. But even 10oz per tire, Its shaking.
Nice product. But need to make sure the proper tire size.. After having an issue with the proper requirement according to their chart, CounterAct is sending the remaining of beads to add in the tire.UPDATE: no news from Simon (sales director) after 2 emails. Even with the extra 4 oz per tire sent, there is still vibration in the steering and wheels above 110 kmh (LT285-70r17) with 10 oz per tire and to install extra bags, it costed 70$.UODATE 2: Had to.remove this product as its was still shacking... Stay with proper weight.

Best to get stranded if you check your tire pressure
Really not the greatest, I used them on my motorcycle and used the provided valve core( with extended plastic tip) the plastic tip broke and jam inside my tire valve making it unusable I had to get a new valve then little beads would get jam in the valve / valve core when I checked my tire pressure. That made the air escape and I was unable to stop the leak, the tire went flat. I had to used a very small needle to push down the balancing bead then reinstall the valve core before adding air, very lucky that happen at home not on the trail. Do not recommend them at all. If you want to check your tire pressure make sure you have a valve core remover tool, a small needle and air compressor.

Balanced big tires
Put two bags in each 35 inch tire and it worked perfect as the tire shop seems to have a hard time balancing bigger tires
