Notes:
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.Before Installing Counteract

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Counteract single five ounce bag of tire balancing beads. Now these Counteract balancing beads are the economical way to balance your tire and wheel assembly for the lifetime of the tire. These beads will basically install inside your tire. I'm gonna zoom in here and show you what you'll get when you order this bag.
You'll get the bag just like this. You'll tear off the top here, and then just dump out what's on the inside. And on the inside you'll see you get a five ounce bag of balancing beads, you get a vortex valve core and you get a self-sealing valve cap. Now these beads are made of coated glass spheres. The balancing beads will not cause any damage to the inner liner of your tire and they won't clump regardless of excess moisture and they are TPMS compatible.
They are environmentally friendly construction, they are reusable and recyclable. And how these Counteract beads work to balance your tire, just wanted to show you a little insert there that basically shows you once your tire begins to roll, this bag will break on the inside of the tires and the beads will be distributed around the interior, thanks to centrifugal force. And as that wheel continues to spin, the heavy spot on your unbalanced tire will pull up and down on the vehicle suspension and this will cause the beads to shift in the opposite direction of that pull so the beads will continue to migrate until there's enough of them on the opposite side of the heavy spot to balance out your tire. And these tire balancing beads will continuously and automatically readjust the balance of your trailer, truck or off-road tire. Does reduce vibration, ensures even wear to increase life of the tire and only gonna improve fuel economy.
It has a very easy installation. You just throw this inner bag into the tire when it's removed from the wheel, or you can inject the beads in through the valve stem. The beads will remain inside the tire, they don't come loose to contaminate the environment and they won't cause any damage to the wheels. Now, one note I do wanna mention, that if your tire has an internal TPMS sensor, you will need to break down the tire to install these beads. The application for this five ounce bag is 15" to 22" truck tires.
Now to order the correct amount of beads for your application, you will need to get the size of the tire from the sidewall of your trailer or vehicle and match it to the tire sizes that are listed on the product page for that size bag of beads. They do offer many different size of bags, we do sell separately. This one's a five ounce bag. Now in order to reduce the possibility of any valve leaks, the use of this Counteract valve core, and this metal valve cap is recommended in place of the original valve core and cap and they are included in every bag of the beads. These parts are made in the USA and this part is for a quantity of one bag of beads for one tire. But that should do it for the review on the Counteract single five ounce bag of tire balancing beads..

I love them. Went on a trip from Buffalo, N.Y. To Branson, Missouri and the ride was as smooth as could be. No vibration at all at speeds up to 90 miles an hour..
I definitely will use them again.
Best way to keep your trailer tires balanced and not need rebalancing later.
Counter Act balance beads are an excellent product, I have used them in my motorcycle tires for years. This is the first time I have ordered a set for truck tires.
Was impressed how well the beads work.
Was pleased with the packaging and shipping from etrailer. Would order again.
Counteract Tire balancing beads is a excellent product. Can't say enough on how good it works! No more losing weight, especially the stick on type. Beads reside inside tire and works great. Package arrived and packaged well. Thanks ETrailer!!
Counteract beads are a great product. Works past my expectations. Plus you don't see the wheels weights. Much cleaner look. Thanks Etrailer
Counteract beads are the way to go for me. Great product. Plus you don't see wheel weights on outside of wheel. Thankyou Etrailer
Balance beads do not work in jeep wheels! I even called the manufacturer to make sure I was using the correct amount for my application.
I have a 1970 VW van with 14" wheels that most shops can't balance because they lack the adapter ring to fit the wheels. Looking for options I found Tire Balancing Beads, with this kit being the best option for me, providing not just the beads in correctly sized pouches for each tire, but all the tools necessary to install them. That process was super easy. This low-tech solution was perfect and the beauty is, the beads last for the lifetime of the tire -- no worry about weights falling off. The price for the full kit was less than bead-only costs from most other retailers.
Got what I paid for and in a timely manner no hassle
Fast shipping!!!
Good tires for price, used on car dolly, exact replacement, no issues at all so far
Works as advertised
This system did not work on my gmc retain or series pickup. The fire monitor in the valve stem seems to impede the head flow. Wish that was mentioned in description. Now I'm stuck with an expensive tool that does not meet my needs.
I have used balance beads in many kinds of tires (trailer,truck,car,van) and always get way more miles and better wear from my tires . Highly recommend !!!
Very easy to use. Cannot rush the installing of the beads through the valve stem.As they will log jam up. Slow and stead fill with positioning the valve stem at the bottom of the wheel. Not sure if this would work well with TPMS wheel sensors. Would probably be better to have the tires broken of their beads by a automotive shop and put in that way.
Super fast shipping - same day. Definitely recommend this site for the best prices and expertise on the products they sell.
Excellent tool! We use this often to install bead balancing on preassembled tires on trailers and trucks. It does have a learning curve (cant feed it too fast) but once you figure it out, it is perfect for the job. Just ordered a replacement in Aug '22, the replacement came preassembled and the hoses were backwards, a simple fix.
WARNING on the packaging on these - each outer bag contains an inner bag of beads + a valve stem + a valve cap + a valve extension. The valve parts are just loose inside the outer bag. Problem is, it wasn't clear that the valve parts are even included with the product, and on 3 of the 4 I received, the inner bag was broken. The inner bag was broken on the first one I opened, so not knowing any better, I just dumped the whole thing in the tire and sealed it up, not realizing I had sealed up valve parts in my tires! The second one I opened had in intact inner bag, so I realized my mistake. I had to break the bead on the first tire to get the valve parts out! I haven't driven on them yet, so not sure how well they work, but thought folks she be forewarned about the packaging issue.
I use them on every tire I change!
