Also I've figured out that the caster angle affects the shake also...

Overall I'm very happy I put them in, and took all the wheel weights off, and would recommend them.
Good to hear! How much was the bunch you bought? My local tire shop sells them in both small and larger sizes.

Same here,, been using these for years with no issues on the bikes i've had (or have) and one other car.

But that car didnt have TPMS either. I'd be leary of the TPMS thing personally, they may hold up but thats alot of crap hitting it all the time.

I'm actually 'installing' these on Saturday. I'm looking forward to see what difference they make.

I got all 5 of my 37 Toyos mounted with the beads today. Drove freeway and in town without any issues. I have black wheels and was not convinced that the weights would blend in. Very happy (for the last 5 hours) so far.

Default bead size

What bead size did you get? Offroad size or the smaller size? I would assume the bigger ones make more noise at low speeds. About to pull the trigger and was curious which size to get.

Thanks in advance

I'll throw another update on here... As u can see from my original post date, I've been running these beads for a while now, and still have no issues at all!!!
U do not hear the beads at all, even at slow speeds... Only time I hear em is when I rotate my tires n roll the tires around by hand.
I am still very very pleased with them, and will continue to use em!!

Used these for almost 3000 miles now. No issues. Wheels are balanced past 90mph. I hear a little noise when stopping with the doors and top off and no music playing (not very often). I am very happy with the beads (Offroad size in 37x13.5x17 Toyo MTs).

I like the idea of these beads. I have a (probably) stupid question.

How do you know how many beads to put in each tire?
