Counteract Balancing Beads in Off-Road Tire applications is the best method of balancing on the market for these types of tires. In recent years the off-road market has boomed and there are more and more of these tires being installed on vehicles, whether they are being used strictly for off-road purposes, or as a daily highway commuter, the look and style is certainly rugged and noticed. The issue is that they weigh a significant amount and due to their design and tread patterns they can call for such varying amounts of weight. In most cases, they call for so much weight to balance that there simply is not enough room on the users rim to accommodate the weight required. This is where Counteract has become the go-to balancing product for these applications. By having Counteract Balancing Beads installed on the inside of the tire allows you to add as much weight needed to balance these tires and complete axel end.

It’s no question that these tires are known for carrying a lot of mud, dirt and stones which will cause an out of balance vibration once they start to gain speed due to the extra weight. A traditional spin balance cannot accommodate for these vibrations, especially if your weights flung off the wheel while mudding. Since Counteract is centralized on the inside of the tire and has the ability to migrate when experiencing vibrations. Counteract is constantly changing with the tire through its daily life as it wears, changes and experiences new out of balance conditions, constantly correcting itself for the life of the tire so that you can drive as smooth as possible. In fact, we know how well Counteract works in these applications because we helped break a world record for the world fastest monster truck! The War Wizard achieving a smooth as glass ride at 96mph!

Off-road applications can call for varying amounts of weight.
From our 22 years of experience in the industry and our product being used around the world, we know that you will not always receive tires that call for the same amount of weight. You could potentially have one tire that needs 6oz of weight but have another tire on the opposite side of the vehicle that calls for 15oz of weight if not more. Unfortunately it is the nature of the beast with mudders. 9.5/10 our recommended amount of Counteract does the job for these applications, although there are times where you could run into an issue with varying amounts of weight being needed for certain wheels. In that case, to insure a true balance we recommend that the user mount the tire on the rim, place the wheel on a dynamic balancer to find out exactly how far out of balance that tire is, then simply inject that amount if Counteract into the tire via the valve stem. Problem solved!

WILL COUNTERACT FIX VIBRATIONS ON A VEHICLE WITH A LIFT KIT?
When you put a lift kit on a vehicle, it changes the angle of the driveshaft, rendering the driveshaft itself unbalanced.
This can cause the vibrations that are sometimes mistaken for tire balance vibrations. No matter what you do to balance your tires in this situation, it won’t eliminate the driveshaft vibration. To learn more, check out this article by 4WheelParts Click here
Get Started
“We’re the largest retailer of tires in the state of Alaska. Recently we started carrying the Pro-Comp Tires which is a line of on and off road light truck tires. They’re fairly heavy; they range from 50 to 92 lbs. so they’re very difficult to balance under normal circumstances, so we’ve been using the Counteract Balancing Beads. We just started this spring (2005) and have had excellent results on every instance, not a single comeback.”

Vehicle manufacturers supply vehicles with properly balanced wheels.
This allows you to ensure optimal handling, dynamics and safety of the car as a whole. The operation of the car from time to time leads to the fact that the balance of the wheels is disturbed. As a result, the steering wheel beats, road handling deteriorates, and significant wear of suspension parts occurs. Let's take a closer look at what balancing is, when it is needed and how to understand that the wheels are installed and balanced correctly.

Car wheel balancing is required:
In the event of a “breakdown” of the suspension, wheel balancing may also be required. If you do not adjust the wheels in a timely manner, then there is a possibility of deterioration in the controllability of the car, which at high speed can lead to emergency situations. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to perform balancing in the above cases. Moreover, the process does not take much time. If the car owner does not have the opportunity to visit a tire fitting, then field wheel balancing in the city or region will help. The master himself will drive up to the client and use mobile equipment to check the wheels, perform all the necessary work on the spot.
There are two types of wheel imbalance:
Even after the static imbalance has been eliminated, a dynamic imbalance may remain. Therefore, it is important that the wheel balancing is carried out by the masters of a specialized car service using modern computer equipment for diagnosing car wheels.
When balancing, the wheel is removed from the car and installed on a balancing machine. After that, the wizard enters the parameters of a particular wheel into the computer. In accordance with the entered parameters and the characteristics of the installed wheel, after the tests, the computer provides information on exactly where on the disk and what weights need to be installed to eliminate the imbalance. The use of a 3D diagnostic stand in a car service allows you to accurately determine the imbalance, geometry violations, wheel beating.
For balancing, various weights and methods of their fastening are used. The choice of load depends on the nature of the imbalance, the type of rim. There are stuffed and adhesive loads.
The main mistakes of poor-quality wheel balancing are:
A less common mistake is the incorrect installation of the weights on the disk - they are too far apart, when the wheel moves, the suspension parts are touched. In order not to encounter such errors, it is recommended to contact a specialized car service, and not save money by balancing with private craftsmen in a garage environment.
