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.

To tell you the truth I have not used them yet. I get mixed feelings and comments from people that this can't really work so why put it in your tires. I'm still thinking of trying it.

    Hi Darryl, The Karrier ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Aluminum Wheel # KE77JR does not come already balanced so you'll need to either take it to a tire shop or you can use some Counteract balancing beads to balance the tire yourself.

  • Correctly Rated 225/75-15 Trailer Tires For 7,000 lb Tandem Axle Trailer
    Okay, let's start real quick with if you should have different load rated tires on your tandem axle trailer - you can, but it isn't advisable as they will wear differently, or you'd need to keep a real close eye on the psi of each tire to make sure it's exactly the same. As for the rest of your questions, I'll take them one by one. 1) While we don't have Eagle tires so I can't comment on their viability, your friend is 100 percent right, load range F 225/75-15 tires are absolutely overkill...

    You can add the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA66VR to the Kenda Karrier ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire with 16" Black Mod Wheel # AM34834 as we do not have the ability to balance wheels and tires at our facility. I always warn if tires are balanced and shipped that they should have balance verified at a shop as wheel weights can fall off in transport. By using the balancing beads they will balance the wheel and tire every time you drive ensuring proper balance. This is great for...

    The Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Aluminum Wheel # KE27JR does not come balanced, which is perfectly normal for a trailer tire, although the shaking you mentioned sounds like it might be excessive. Trailer tires don't have to run as smooth as passenger vehicle tires since nobody will be traveling inside the trailer. With that being said, if you wanted to get your trailer tires balanced there isn't anything wrong with that, and we actually have balancing beads you insert...

    The Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Galvanized Wheel part # AM32397 does not come balanced. That said, this really isn't needed for trailers. There are some benefits from balancing the tires on a trailer such as reduced vibrations but they are minor and you wouldn't notice nor be able to feel a differences.

    The Kenda Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Black Mod Wheel # AM32131 is not balanced. Since this is a trailer tire it doesn't need to be balanced for proper performance. The purpose of the wheel and tire is supporting the load of the trailer, so you don't have to worry about a smooth ride for passengers. You can balance them with something like the # CA83VR if you wish, but it is not necessary.
