Default Question about tires?

Is that beaded stuff they put in tires to remount and balance crap? Or is that something prefer in there? I heard it's mainly for semis but they do it for 35s and above.

TORN had it put in his 37s recently and has been pleased so far.

I've read mixed reviews. I've read of a lot of problems with the powdered balancing compounds. If you use air instead of nitrogen and moisture gets into the tire it will clump up and not work.
