Why customers choose NorthTrail Auto
Counteract 12OZ-B4 balancing beads are pre-measured, bagged glass spheres that self-adjust inside your tire to continuously balance the wheel assembly while driving.
Designed for off-road vehicles, light-duty trucks, and other high-movement tire applications, this kit includes four 12 oz bag-in-bag balancing bead packs plus four valve cores and caps for straightforward installation during tire mounting. The tempered glass beads migrate under centrifugal force to counteract wheel imbalance, helping reduce vibration and uneven wear without mechanical weights or wheel disassembly.
How do these beads work while I'm driving?
The beads move to the low spot in the rotating tire and form a dynamic counterbalance as speed increases, continuously adapting to changes like fuel load, cargo, or tire wear. Because they’re free-moving inside the tire, they rebalance the assembly every time you drive.
- Bag-in-bag design keeps beads contained for safe installation.
- Tempered glass spheres provide consistent mass for centrifugal balancing.
- Active rebalancing adapts to load and wear changes in real time.
Will installing these beads damage my wheels or tire warranties?
The Counteract beads are non-abrasive and installed inside the tire, not on the rim, so they do not interfere with wheel surfaces. According to the product guidance, the beads do not void tire or wheel warranties; still, check any specific warranty terms from the tire or vehicle manufacturer.
- Internal installation prevents rim scratching or cosmetic damage.
- Reusable, recyclable glass beads reduce contamination risks.
- Comes with valve cores and caps to ensure a secure seal after installment.
How simple is installation during a tire change?
Installation is made easy with the bag-in-bag system: place the pre-measured bead pouch inside the tire when mounting it to the wheel, then seat the bead and inflate. No special tools or professional balancing machine are required to get the beads working.
- Place one 12 oz bag per tire during mounting—no measuring required.
- Includes valve cores and caps for finishing the job correctly.
- Compatible with standard tire mounting processes at home or shop.
What practical benefits can I expect on the road?
The beads aim to reduce vibration and promote more even tread wear by minimizing rolling resistance and dynamic imbalance, particularly at highway speeds. Results vary with vehicle type, load, and driving conditions, but many users notice smoother operation and potentially improved fuel efficiency during sustained speeds.
- Helps decrease vibration from wheel imbalance, improving ride comfort.
- Promotes more uniform tire wear to extend usable tread life.
- May contribute to reduced rolling resistance at sustained speeds over 55 mph.
Who is this for? The Counteract 12OZ-B4 kit is aimed at owners of off-road vehicles, light-duty trucks, SUVs, and anyone who routinely carries variable loads or spends long highway miles and wants a low-maintenance balancing solution. It’s especially useful for vehicles where conventional wheel weights are impractical, for people seeking a reusable and environmentally friendlier balancing option, and for tire shops looking to offer an alternative balancing product during tire installation.
