It is very basic gyro dynamics why the beads, sand, liquid works.

Sounds like you got a good set if they required no balancing... OR the guy just didn't balance them. lol ...

Also Ride-On and Dyna Beads work great, we've been using them for years in our wheels.

I use 3 ProMotion tire spoons, and rim protectors.

Just replaced my rear tire with 13k on it. Used dynabeads, no sing of damage to the inside of tire whatsoever.
