Default Dyna Beads Anyone?

Anyone here use Dyna Beads in their tires? Some fellow PGR riders on Gold Wings swear by them. They're cheap enough that I'll give them a whirl (pun intended) in my new Avon Cobras.

Thanks for the warning. I ordered my tires on line so I doubt I'll get any warranty out of them. anyway. Eastern made me a good deal on them so it's a bit of an experiment.

I wonder if you need to find out how much weight it needs and add the right amount?
I think the guys in the bus shop just toss a few in if they suspect there is a problem.

They are small ceramic beads that you pour in with an applicator right down the valve stem. On the site you look at the chart for your tire size and order the correct weight. My 03 WG takes 2oz in the rear and 1oz in the front. They are supposed to find their happy spot at around 15 mph and give you perfect tire balance. Great for tube or tubeless tires and very cheap. Keeps the ugly weights of your wheels also. Haven't tried mine yet, waiting to change my rear and then I'll post my opinion.
