balance beads recommendations?

Hi all,

Just seeing if anyone here has a preference on balance bead brands. I have heard some can disintegrate and others are great.

If you have any you prefer, I'm all ears.

Thank you,



happy holidays

Re: balance beads recommendations?

I use Checkered Flag beads in IROK 40's and PitBull 42's with no balance issues up to 75mph.... rarely go faster than that on the highway.

Thank you for the recommendation.

I used ceramic beads on 285s 70 17 tires. I have no vibes up to 80mph. 6.5oz of beads per tire was used.

Re: balance beads recommendations?

Are BBs any good for balancing?
Haven't used them, just wondering...

I had read of people using the copper BBs and airsoft BBs. I think as long as whatever you use will not break down or clump, should work fine.
