Notes:

  • Balancing beads are designed for use on trailers with a minimum of a 1/2-ton suspension. Do not use these beads on passenger cars or SUVs.
  • If your tire has internal TPMS sensors, you will need to break down the tire to install these beads.

How Counteract Tire Balancing Works

Once your tire begins to roll, the beads will get distributed around its interior thanks to centrifugal force. As the wheel continues to spin, the heavy spot in your unbalanced tire will pull up and down on your vehicle's suspension. This will cause the beads to shift in the opposite direction of that pull. The beads will continue to migrate until there are enough of them on the opposite side of the heavy spot to balance your tire.

The installation took a little longer than I expected, you have to have patience with blowing the beads into valve but all went well and I was able to complete two tires in less than an hour, including removal from trailer. I assume they're working properly, my ride was good and tires look evenly worn after 2500 mile spring Florida sojourn.

  • Do 205/65-10 Trailer Tires on Galvanized Rims Need to be Balanced
    This is a debate that's been raging (well, maybe simmering) for years. In most cases, because trailers do not have steer or drive axles it's not as crucial to balance them as it is for passenger vehicles. In my opinion, it's not necessary for smaller, lighter trailers unless you notice some wheel wobble. Because they are dipped during the galvanization process, the thickness of the coating isn't always uniform so you might find it necessary to balance the tires if you notice any wobble....

  • Do Trailer Tires Need Balancing Before Mounting
    You do not need to get your trailer tires balanced before mounting. Some people like doing so but it isn't something required as trailer tires don't figure into handling the way car tires do. If you want you can add balancing beads after the fact to balance the tires if you feel the need to: - 8 Inch, 9 Inch, 10 Inch, 12 Inch Tires: Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA68VR - 13 Inch, 14 Inch, 15 Inch, 16 Inch Tires: Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA83VR

  • Do The Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Tire w/ 12" Galvanized Spoke Wheel # AM31202 Come Balanced?
    The Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire w/ 12" Galvanized Spoke Wheel # AM31202 does not come balanced as trailer tires are designed for supporting heavy loads and not a smooth ride. You can take them to a shop and have them balanced or we do have the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA68VR which will allow you to add them to up to 4 of these size wheels and tires. The beads move to find the light spot in the tire and balance the tire while you drive. If you find a wheel and tire...

  • Does Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire Come Balanced on 8 Wheel
    Tire and wheel combos we carry, like the Kenda 4.80/4.00-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" Galvanized Wheel # AM30070 you're asking about, don't come balanced since trailer tires don't need to be balanced. If you'd like for them to be balanced you can either use the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads for Tandem Axle Trailers # CA68VR or you can have a shop balance the tires for you.

  • Replacement Radial Tires For Jet Ski Trailer With 4.80-12 Bias Ply Tires
    I recommend using the Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire # TT48012C on your jet ski trailer. This will upgrade you to a radial tire which will perform much better on the road and give you a longer tread life. I do not like going to a larger tire on a boat trailer due to launching and loading your jet ski. The taller tire will require you to back further onto the ramp. The Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA68VR can be used in place of balancing the trailer tires. These beads continuously...

  • Should Kenda 205/65-10 Tire & Wheel be Balanced
    While not technically absolutely necessary, I do recommend balancing the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10" White Wheel # AM3H430. Trailer tires don't come balanced, and some people don't balance them at all, but doing so is a good idea to help ensure the tire wears evenly for the best performance. The easiest way to do this is with balancing beads: - Counteract Tire Balancing Beads for Tandem Axle Trailers - 4 Tires # CA68VR It says for 4 tires but that just means it comes with...
