Why customers choose NorthTrail Auto

Counteract 4OZ-B4 is a centrifugal glass-bead tire balancing kit that self-adjusts inside the tire to deliver continuous wheel balance for off-road vehicles and light-duty trucks. Counteract balancing beads are engineered to float and shift with centrifugal force, automatically seeking the ideal balance point for each wheel without needing wheel weights. This kit includes four 4-ounce bead bags plus four valve cores and caps for a complete DIY installation when mounting new or existing tires. The tempered glass beads are reusable and contained inside the inner bags so they stay inside the tire assembly and avoid contact with the rim finish.

How do these beads maintain balance while driving?

The beads move independently inside the tire as it spins, redistributing mass to counteract any imbalance dynamically. As speed increases, beads flow toward high spots and settle where needed to reduce vibration and runout.

  • Self-adjusting: beads relocate in real time with centrifugal force
  • Works across a range of speeds typical for on- and off-road use
  • Continuous action means no rebalancing required after installation

Will installation damage my wheels or void tire warranties?

Installation is a bag-in-bag method that positions the beads beside the tire inside the wheel, avoiding direct bead-to-rim contact. Counteract designs its bead system to be compatible with tire and wheel assemblies; the product does not void tire or wheel warranties when installed properly.

  • Bagged bead packets keep glass beads contained during mounting
  • Includes valve core replacements and caps for a clean install
  • Simple to seat during standard tire mounting procedures

What performance benefits can I expect on trucks and off-road rigs?

Balanced wheels reduce vibration and uneven tread wear, which can improve ride quality and contribute to more uniform tire wear patterns. Independent tests have shown measurable improvements in rolling resistance, which can help with fuel efficiency under typical driving conditions.

  • More even tire wear across the tread surface
  • Reduced vibration for a smoother drive, especially at highway speeds
  • Potential fuel economy gains due to lower rolling resistance

How long do the beads last and are they reusable?

The tempered glass spheres are highly durable and intended for long service life inside the tire assembly. If you remove and remount tires, the beads can be recovered and reused as long as the inner packets remain intact.

  • 99.9% tempered glass construction for durability
  • Reusable when proper removal procedures are followed
  • Environmentally responsible—non-toxic and recyclable materials
This 4OZ-B4 package is ideal for owners who mount their own tires or shops that balance light-duty truck, motorcycle, and off-road vehicle wheels regularly. Each kit provides four 4-ounce bead pouches and four valve cores and caps, giving you everything needed to outfit four wheels. If you want a maintenance-free balancing solution that works automatically with wheel rotation, Counteract’s bead system offers a practical, long-term option without the need for stick-on weights or frequent rebalancing checks.

FAQ

Q: How many wheels does the 4OZ-B4 kit balance?

A: The kit contains four 4oz bead bags and valve cores, enough to balance up to four wheels.

Q: Can I reuse the beads when changing tires?

A: Yes—tempered glass beads are reusable if inner bags remain intact and beads are recovered properly.
