Default tire balance

has anyone used the tiny pellets to balance a tire, and has anyone had a problem with them or heard anyone who has?

I believe they're called Dyna Beads (or at least those are the ones I'm familiar with). I haven't used them but I'm curious as well, thinking about trying them myself.

Dyna Beads are great. I run them in my Fatboy and my Dad has them in his VROD. You just have to have some ptience when putting them in.

Here is their website

Nope, only read I've done is that they are $$$$$. And out of all the bikes I've owned never had one that the tire balance give me issues.

i had a kenworth and then a freightliner, and it's common to use the beads for balancing the front tires on them. figuring out how much of the tire beads for a bike would be a bit of a mental challenge i don't want to work on, but you could get them much cheaper and probably the same stuff that dynabeads likely repackages to sell to us for our bikes.
