We have mounted and balanced a lot of tires. If you have stick-on weights that are falling off, someone is doing something wrong. That is not normal.

The balance beads have their place. We have tried them. For certain applications, they work. But for the vast majority of passenger car and truck balance though, the tried and true clip on and stick on weights are hard to beat.

Two things about the beads, DO NOT breath them and it takes a minute or so of driving after every stop for the beads to re-balance the tire. Not a problem for over the road situations, but not cool in stop and go traffic. And they are much more expensive than the others.
