Default Dyna beads Question

when I replaced my tires I used a knock off of Dyna Beads. Well, when I check air pressure they're binding my shader valves. Even with the valves in 12:00 position. Aside from trying to get these out and use Real Dyna Beads, what can I do?

You could always throw a little air in the tire before you check the pressure, to blow any beads out of the valve area.

That's what I've started doing. But I hate having to play with it. It's hit or miss. Blowing the beads back then checking pressure some times the beads clog it again.

I used to run Dyna Beads and would occasionally have to clear the valve with air before checking pressure. Small price to pay. A couple years ago I switched to Ride-On which is both a tire balance'r and sealant in case of a puncture.

I've got Ride On but haven't used it yet. Might try that next. I'm sure I know the answer but will I have to get the beads out or as Many as possible?

You know, if you use nitrogen, the tires hold pressureMuch much longer

Since I run tubes I've been thinking that Ride-On might be a plus.

Perhaps I'll throw some in.

But if I us liquid nitrogen won't my tires freeze and crack.
What oil and blinker fluid are you using?
This started as a serious question, but thanks for your reply amkaos.

I'm not saying liquid nitrogen..the gas and its readily available..
Places charge like 5$/tire but if you go to a public vo-tech mechanics school in your area,
They will do it free..
They have a machine that extracts the nitrogen from the air...works really really well

Is Nitrogen Better than Air in Car Tires?



Filtered Valve Cores take care of the problem you're having.
