whatcha think?

 

That's real interesting, I suppose it'd work.

But if a big rig blows a tire in front of ya with that stuff in there exploding out
all over the highway


Better Get ready and try to drive perfectly dead & straight forget about using your
brakes until your are past it.

Wonder if it's DOT approved for that very reason.

Just tinkin

 

Known a few ppl use those and they've had nothing but good things to say about it.

 

They put them in the tyres on my truck every time I have a tyre changed. Have to say that I have never had any wheel woble or vibration on the truck since. Hadn't really thought about what happens when I have a blow out. I will ask the tyre fitter next time I see him but they have been using them for years so I guess they have thought of that sort of thing. What you have to remember is the beeds are that small, they are more like a dust than *****

 

They look small enough to disappear down the first crevice in the road surface and I don't think they use that many . You'd have to be real close behind and as Steve said I think there would be lots of other things for you to worry about!

 

Fair 'nuff might give 'em a try in my volvo I have one wheel the missus already
peeled the weight offa..........she's only had my 4 wheels one day !

She's not interested in riding yet .................pheeeeewwww !

 

How Intersting !

Firstly great find, i am currently making a tyre remover and was thinking of buying a balancing machine - so I dont think I will bother now

Secondly (And more interesting for me)

When I google Dynabeads here in the UK I get the result

http://www.invitrogen.com/site/us/en...3000000005592s&

as a first hit - they do look very similar and sound like a similar compound and it is a registered trademark.
They are used in genetic research.
The intersting bit (for me) is that the site is a company called Invitrogen which has just merged with a company called Applied Biosystems to form Life Technologies.

Which is where I work !

As "Old Applied Bio" Staff I dont have much contact with legacy Invitrogen - but I will have to try and do some digging

 

I think I might try them. In their video, they show a soda bottle attached to a power drill. The bottle wobbles all over the place when the drill's running. A few dynabeads and it smooths right out. Pretty impressive. Today's tires are generally pretty well balanced anyway.
