...I'm with rustednuts, I had never heard of them either. No harm intended here but if they are that good why haven't we heard about them before now?? ....... am I that far out of the loop????
Today, I was checking with "my tire guy" for some tires for my son-in-law. I ask Jimmy if he had ever heard or seen them and his answer was "oooh yeah" but he did not offer any more info either good or bad. I let the subject drop.
Cosmo, I like the idea/fact that they make the tire wear even and I like what Bigtonka said about the tires re-balancing when you speed up. That would take care of having to have tires re-balanced as the lead weights don't move or rebalance. That makes sense.
MY QUESTION before I run off half cocked and get the balancing beads is this....
When going slow do you notice any tire bounce or any indication the tire is not balanced until you speed up???
Since the tires I checked on will go on a pickup he drives long trips in every week these may be a good trial for us. I'm interested because as Cosmo indicates, evenly wearing tires will last longer and the savings will offset the cost of the beads, plus a smooother ride.
Tell me more!
