Tire Balancing Beads vs. Traditional Balancing Methods
Proper tire balancing is a part of tire maintenance you can’t overlook. But aren’t you tired of adjusting or replacing wheel weights every time the balance shifts out of place? When seeking an alternative to traditional balancing methods, such as wheel weights, consider tire balancing beads.
Balancing beads are tiny ceramic or glass beads applied inside the tire. They help evenly distribute weight across the tire and wheel assembly, improving drive smoothness and reducing wear. Here, we’ll delve deeper into the differences between balancing beads and traditional methods. Read on to make an informed decision!
Comparing Wheel Balancing Beads And Traditional Methods: 4 Key Differences
1. Installation
Traditional balancing requires removing the tire from the wheel, mounting and dismounting it on a balancer, and adding weights to the rim. Balancing beads go inside the tire through the valve stem, eliminating the need for tire dismounting or wheel-weighting.
2. Balancing Precision
While traditional balancing can achieve high accuracy, it may become less precise over time due to wheel and tire wear. Balancing beads, on the other hand, constantly adjust themselves to the changing balance point of the tire and provide a more consistent and accurate balance.
3. Longevity
Traditional balancing weights may fall off due to corrosion or road debris, requiring frequent rebalancing. In contrast, wheel balancing beads are durable and require minimal maintenance. You don’t need to remove them after installation; they can stay in the tire for their entire lifespan.
4. Cost-Effectiveness
The cost of traditional balancing (including labor) can increase in the long run, whereas tire balancing beads are a one-time investment with no recurring fees. Additionally, using tire balancing beads helps extend the life of tires and save on replacement costs.
