A product called Dyno Beads

imported post

Ive been running them in my front tire. 2 ounces were put in and you use no external wheel weights. I have over 6000 miles on the tire and no buzz or imbalance wobble at all. Im not sure exactly how it works but it does.

I've had them in my last two sets of tires with great results. They work great, and don't have to worry about slinging off an outside weight.

Currently have Stones on with 2 oz. beads in each tire.36 psi front 41psi rear. Milage 8k+ I got a new set of tires (STONES) on order. Should get about 10K out of the tires?? But I'll be changing them out as soon as I get the new ones. New Tires + New Valve Stems = Cheap Insurance. No problems to date with the beads. Minimum cupping on the front a little more on the rear. Been at a buck twenty and no shake??:shock: Slow speed wobble??? sometimes yea sometimes nay??? Plus according to what I have read the beads are reusable. I'll be reusing mine.

Is any one using nitrogen in their tires. We have a local tire shop that is really pushing the use of it. They say it increases the life of a tire along with the performance and handling. Too good to be true? thoughts?

I use Dyna beads in my 1500 and they work as advertised.

The ceramic beads do work. Ordered them for my dually because the big tires just will not stay balanced with lead weights. The huge big brake drums must be out of balance because no amount of rebalancing of the tires will keep the rear wheels on the ground.

An article on balancing... from the maker of Dyna Beads.

Despite all the praise I still have my doubts. The only way I would believe they work is to have an unbalanced tire with noticable hop, add the beads and see if the hop is noticably improved. My "problem" is in 40 yrs I've never balanced a motorcycle tire and have yet to have an inkling of a noticable imbalance condition.

Do a Search on them, they've been in topics several times on the forums here. I've used them on the last 4 sets of tires and gotten max mileage with even wear. I'll keep using them till something better comes along.

My first step was a search and was unable to find anything on them. I found that very strange.



Nice to hear all the good words about them. I will likely put them in when the tires are changed up.

They worked on my LTD. I noticed right away when I put them in that the bike was smoother. Tire dealers use a very similar product for tractor trailer tires. they put in several ounces in when they mount the tire for constant balancing. so motorcycles are not the only vehicle to be using them.

That is correct. The trucking industry is where they got their start. many decades ago. The ceramic part is just an improvement that I can appreciate.

Lead balls just gum up eventually. Steel balls rust and stick together.

Ceramic? Way to go. No rust, no mess.

good choice... your tires and your wallet will thank you.

I tried nitrogen in my last set of tires, and was disappointed with the results. Tire pressure is said to remain constant, but it didn't for me, and I went back and had the tires repurged twice over the tread life. I didn't get any better wear either. I went back to air because I can keep the pressure regulated at home or on the road with less hassel.

I'm using 78% nitrogen* in mine. I think it's a good deal, 'cause the guy who installed it charged me only 50% of what it would've cost for 100% nitrogen.



That's a great deal, when you do the math! :cheeky1:
Nitrogen

Nitrogen is great to protect against ozone degeneration of tires. Problem is it only protects the inside of the tire as the outside is still exposed to ozone carrying air.














*(for those that don't know, you're already breathing 78% nitrogen)

Of course, if you are in the business of making liquid oxygen, argon etc, you have a huge pile of liquid nitrogen without a very big market.

Convincing people to put it in tires was a smart move.
