It really does work
I have a 2019 Ford Ranger with the Rocky Ridge Package, thus 35 inch tires (15k miles). I could never get the balance right on them. I've had them road force balanced twice now and that does a pretty good job but after rotating my tires, they needed balanced again. I decided to give these beads a try after a friend had good luck with them.I took them and had Tire Discounter break down the tire and install them, I didn't feel like taking an hour trying to get little beads through the valve stem. The guy at Tire Discounter tried to talk me out of it, he said with his 22 years experience I would hate it, the beads are only for heavy loads etc and my truck was too small.Yeah, he was dead wrong. these beads worked like a charm. In fact, my truck has never ridden so smooth. I would highly recommend them.

Simple, Effective
We have used Counteract balancing beads in our large trucks, but never in the light trucks before. I put some new tires (Cooper Discoverer ST Maxx 285/70R17) on my truck right before my wife took it on a 2,000 mile trip. The truck was really stable and operated smoothly for her even on the freeway at 75 - 80 mph. I have driven a few times since she got back and there is no shaking or vibration while straight or in turns. Seems to be working really well, I am very happy with the product. It is easy to use and I was able to mount the new tires myself in a few minutes with the tools we have for the big trucks. It let me buy the tires I wanted from the best price place and I saved over $40.00 per tire. So a great win-win for me, great performance and great prices.

This is the best DIY balancing solution I found for oversized tires
I want to start out by saying that this product works well once it's in your tires. It does what it's supposed to do and holds up really well.The caveat to this is the installation. If you have your tires off the rims then it's no big deal just tear the bag open and pour it in. I would recommend against throwing a whole bag into the tire even though it will bust open because the plastic bag will get wrapped around your valve stem especially if you have TPMS sensors.However if you're trying to get these into your tire through the valve stem you've got your work cut out for you. The best way I found to get these to go through a valve stem is to pull the valve core and use your jack to let the cars weight push all the air out of the tire. Then you can slowly jack the tire up and it will create a vacuum that will let you slowly pour in the balance beads. I had to do this over and over about 10 to 15 times per tire for my 38s!

beware of tiny beads and broken bags!
Dynamic balancing is a great concept, I've seen it and done it with beads, BB's, anti-freeze, Slime, etc., but I thought I'd give these a try based on them being a ceramic-based material.First off, the squeeze bottle is a JOKE. As another reviewer said, it will take HOURS to get those tiny beads through your valve stem. I tried this at first and realized it was useless, happened to be mounting tires myself, so threw the first 3 bags inside tires before seating the bead. When I got to bag #4, the inner bag designed to "drop in" to your tire was broken, and the beads ended up all over my garage floor. Not a big issue if you have a few pounds sitting around, but no way was I going to order them again. Used matching weight of BB's to get vehicle back on the road.The other issue is they did NOT send "filtered" valve cores, they sent the red-plastic tipped versions they show in their photos, and these DON'T work. Nearly every time I have to adjust air pressure the beads get stuck in the valve and start letting the air out! NOT WORTH IT!They work fine as a dynamic balancer, and I can live with loosing a bag, but the issue with the valve stems makes this a poor implementation that I will never use again.

Wow just wow I'm a believer now works on my xj
This is a two person job but wow what a difference right off the bat my xj has a slight wobble that turns violent if I'm breaking hard in it's sweet spot or heavy acceleration now that's down to nothing and I tested it with the will weights still on for best efforts and it smoothed that imbalance so I removed them for a smoother ride now I drilled out my valve stems for easier filling but I still had to have a second pair of hands as I jacked it up to get suction from the filling tire then my helper slowly pooted them in the bottle that I cut the base off of about 3-4 up and down per tire and your done be a lot easier to do during a tire change or valve stem change

They work !!!
2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser, 315 75 R17 BF Goodrich All Terrain tires. With these enormous tires and a 2" lift, it seemed as though, no matter what I did to remedy the "shimmy" at 45-50mph, it would not go away. After new tires, road force balancing and an alignment, better but not perfect. And then.... I found this product. The installation through the valve stem is probably the worst part of the whole experience, but with patience can be achieved in about a half an hour per tire, including removal of tire and wheel from vehicle. Installed the supplied new valve stems, filled to spec and test drove. Perfection, haven't had my vehicle ride like this ever. Worth the money, worth the time.

Good buy but install can be tricky
Good product but realized only way to get them inside the wheel if you have tire pressure monitors are by dismounting the wheel and putting the bag inside. The tool to put the beads thru the stem did not work on pushing them tru with the tpms sensors on my wheels
