IF these are if fact "beads" on the inside of your tire and they are constantly moving from stop to go, then it would eventually create wear from the inside of the tire. I think I will stick with the old fashioned method!

One of my friends had an old cb350 with inner-tube tires. The tube was filled with a liquid of some sort for balancing purposes. I asked the dealer about that and they said it was a terrible idea in the first place and nobody has balanced tires like that for decades. 32 bucks a tire for a mount and balance is better than what I paid. I took the wheels off my bike and brought them tires, they charged me a hundred bucks to mount and balance the new ones, I flipped **** but ended up paying them and forever complaining about it.

mmm 32 is good then? I might have to go to this place and get em done then. I wish my tires werent on backorder i would have had em done this weekend.

From what i understand this is what they use on heavy duty trucks. A guy came to replace the tire at our shop and just did the tire outside, took it off outside mounted it outside no machine or nothing then threw a bag of i think its powder for trucks and thats it.
