I'm thinking of buying this as it does more than one thing for the tire/wheels: http://www.ride-on.com/prod_mot.asp
"Ride-On is currently sold by six of the nationâs ten largest commercial tire dealers. They install our products into the tires of their commercial customers, who demand that the products not harm their aluminum or steel wheels. As their tires can last upwards of 250,000 miles, the fact that Ride-On is designed to not harm tire ply materials or cause loss of adhesion strength helps those customers retain tires for the fullest life possible. Letters from manufacturers such as Michelin, Goodyear, Bridgestone/Firestone, Continental, Yokohama, and Toyo that indicate that the use of our products do not automatically void their warranties also bears witness to our success in creating a product that does not cause harm to tires or wheels.
I have my tubes of Ride-on fluid just waiting to go in my 08 UC tires once temps come around and I can ride more regularly. Also got some to put in a new set of tires on the wife's 04 Accord. I've been researching this for several months and believe it is well worth a try. With dyna-beads you only get balancing...why not get balancing, cooler running, and flat protection all at once?? And no, I don't work for the company.
I have been thinking about using this also - keep us updated as to your thoughts/experiences - trip to KY in June, hoping to install before that - road safety!
I have used the beads on about 8 front tires now. I say front, because it easier to find problems if there is one. I have found they work great if the amount of beads is close to the amount weight it would have needed if done the traditional way. If the tire needs too much weight, than the beads are not that great.
Been using the dyna-beads, front and rear, for about 5k miles now. They seem to work fine with the Michelien Commanders. Much smoother ride compared to the lops with stick on weights. Of course, I do not know how much is the dyna beads and how much is the tire. [:-]
