I used Dynamic Balancing Beads in the past on a 4x4 with HUGE tyres that were difficult to balance with great results. 8oz had to be put in each tyre.

My CVO Breakout with just over 800 miles on the clock has already started to shed the rear wheel stick on weights. I have just ordered 2 x 2oz bags of beads and an applicator to insert them through the valve stem. There are many great feedback posts and testimonials from several Harley-Davidson owners saying how good they are also stating they get more life out of the tyres. The amount of money it would cost me and the inconvenience of getting the wheel rebalanced the beads are an easier route to take. The remaining weights still stuck to my wheels will hopefully be in the bin by the weekend?

For something that does not work Dyna beads do a hell of an imitation for over 60k miles for me!! My son runs them also with same results!
I run a 195 60 16 on the rear and it does a good imitation of working there also
Never tried Ride on so cant say.


I also live in iowa where we know about humidity and NEVER had a problem with beads getting damp and sticking ! Just sayin.


How in the hell did you get that much moisture in a tire that the beads stuck?
