I've never heard any nay sayers on balancing beads...truck drivers have used them in their drive tires for 50 years & take my word for it...it's better than writs except for 2 issues. 1...every time you come to rest, your tires rebalance themselves & so you may feel a slight out of balance condition when you leave a stop for the first 100 feet. 2...air quality is key. If you fill up with crappy air that isn't run through a dryer...the beads clump together & don't work. You need dry air from a body shop or someone that understands that air compressors make lots of water & you need very dry air with balancing beads.
To many folks...that's a hassle. Other than that the only doubters would be what we call idiots :)
It's very simple how they work and also very easy to prove...just try it.
