This kit contains four 6-ounce bag-in-bag units of recyclable tempered glass beads plus four valve caps and cores designed for easy installation during tire mounting. The beads move with centrifugal force to redistribute weight across the wheel assembly in real time, providing a dynamic balance that adapts to changes in load, road conditions and tire wear without tools or reweighting. Because the beads are contained in tear-resistant inner bags inside the tire, they are simple to place and maintain during regular tire service.
The beads use centrifugal force: as the wheel spins, the tiny glass spheres migrate to the correct positions around the rim, counteracting heavy spots and smoothing out vibrational imbalances. This continuous self-adjustment works at road speeds and during acceleration, maintaining a more uniform rotation than static balancing alone.
By smoothing out inconsistent wear patterns, the beads help tires wear more evenly, which can extend usable tread life. Improved balance reduces rolling resistance and drivetrain vibration at highway speeds, which can modestly improve fuel efficiency when compared to persistently unbalanced wheels.
Installation is performed during tire mounting: place a 6oz bag inside each tire before seating the bead and inflating. The kit includes valve cores and caps to complete the job and the inner bags are designed for tear resistance, so no special tools or calculated weight placement are needed after mounting.
Counteract beads are tempered glass spheres that are reusable and recyclable, formulated to avoid chemical contamination and minimize abrasion. The contained bag system prevents stray beads from contacting wheel finishes, and the kit includes valve components sized for secure installation.
Who is this for: The Counteract 6OZ-B4 kit is aimed at owners and technicians of off-road vehicles, light-duty trucks, and those who mount aggressive or heavy-duty tires that can lose balance under load. It's a practical choice for fleet operators, overlanders, and individual drivers who want a hands-off, long-term balancing solution that reduces vibration, promotes even wear and fits into routine tire maintenance during mounting.
Q: Can I install these beads myself?
A: Yes—place each 6oz bag inside the tire during mounting and install the provided valve core and cap; no balancing machine needed afterwards.
Q: Do the beads damage wheels or void warranties?
A: The beads are contained in inner bags and made of tempered glass; Counteract states they do not void tire or wheel warranties.
