Counteract Tire Balancing Beads for Trucks & Off-Road — 4×8oz Bag-in-Bag Kit with Valve Caps

Counteract 8OZ-B4 centrifugal tire balancing beads are a self-adjusting, bag-in-bag glass bead system that balances off-road and light/medium duty truck wheels from the inside while you drive.

Designed for off-road vehicles, UTVs, SUVs and light/medium duty trucks, this Counteract kit contains four 8 oz sealed bead bags plus four valve caps and replacement valve cores so you can install balance beads when mounting new tires. The beads use centrifugal force to relocate inside the tire, creating a dynamic balance across the entire wheel assembly without wheel weights. Made from 99.9% tempered glass spheres and packaged in an internal bag system, they’re reusable, recyclable and intended to stay contained inside the tire to prevent contamination or rim damage.

How do the beads balance my wheels automatically?

As your wheel spins, the glass beads move to the point of imbalance and counterweight the heavy spot on the tire, continuously readjusting across changing conditions. This dynamic action means the beads keep working at different speeds and loads without manual rebalancing.

• Centrifugal placement locates beads where needed as speed increases
• Continuous readjustment for shifting loads and tire wear
• No external wheel weights required or re-mounting after installation

Will these beads affect tire life or fuel economy?

The beads are designed to reduce rolling resistance and promote more even tire wear by minimizing vibration and uneven contact patches. Over sustained highway speeds—typically above 55 mph—the reduced resonance and improved balance can contribute to better fuel efficiency.

• Helps distribute wear more evenly across the tread
• Reduces vibration that accelerates irregular wear patterns
• Can lower rolling resistance during steady-speed driving

How do I install the Counteract bead bags and what’s included?

Installation is simple during tire mounting: place each sealed 8 oz bag between the tire and rim inside the cavity before seating the bead. This kit also includes standard valve caps and replacement valve cores so you can reseal the tire after installation without extra parts.

• Four sealed 8 oz bead bags (one per wheel)
• Four valve caps and four valve cores included for resealing
• Bag-in-bag design prevents bead spillage during mounting

Are these beads safe for tires and the environment?

Counteract beads are tempered glass spheres (99.9%) designed to stay inside the tire and avoid contaminating the environment or contacting wheel surfaces. The beads are reusable and recyclable, and Counteract states their use does not void tire or wheel warranties.

• Tempered glass composition minimizes abrasion risk
• Contained bag design prevents loose bead escape during install
• Reusable and recyclable material for reduced waste

Who is this for: This kit is aimed at owners of off-road vehicles, UTVs, SUVs and light/medium duty trucks who want a low-maintenance way to balance wheels across varied terrain and loads. It’s a practical option for fleet operators, weekend off-roaders and anyone mounting new tires who prefers an inside-the-tire solution to traditional wheel weights.
