Love them w/ Elite III's
Had these installed with new front tire and after 6000 plus good wear on tire with no chop. had new rear tire put on at shop and they had no dyna beads' bought some from Wingstuff and putting them in is a piece of cake with the application bottle. I used a dremel tool to apply constant vibration to valve stem and the beads just rolled right in, No problem. |

Don't even try to add these into the valve stem
This is impossible to put the beads into the valve stem as the instructons say. They would be better off makeing a Starch bag like the truck pouches are made and you just drop it in and the bag disolves and breaks apart. Never the less you have to get the things inside. My friend and I seated the bead on the tire Let all the air back out then Broke one side of the bead and basically squeezed the bottle and poured it into the tire. A mush better way to get it into the tire. As far as the proformance I think it has made a very noticable differance and the tires defentally feel more stable. Of course the roads we have make it dificullt to tell but the vibration is down considderablly. I don't know that I would put this in old used tires once there worn. I installed on both front and rear New tires. So far so good. |

Work Great
Bought these for my 2nd ride - Honda Valkyrie. Work great and definitely extend the life of my tires. |

Really don't know if the helped at all
After installing these and dealing with the eventual clogged valve in the stem, transfer to new tires, etc. I don't think there was a value add. I get 17K on my Elite 3s without these and didn't do any better with them |

Fantastic
Dyna beads made a very noticable difference on my 2001! Smoother ride, tires seem to be wearing better too! Istallation was kinda funky at first, you have to keep tapping the valve, they eventually drop in. I'm a believer! |

Dyna Beads
These were recommednded by the dealer shop foreman at my first tire change. I have the Dunlop Elite 3 tires front and back. I have 12K miles on them with more to go and they are always smooth riding. Great product |

I'm a Believer !!
I installed the Dyna Beads for the first time on a new set of tires before leaving on a 2700 mile road trip and all I can say is: I will never use wheel weights again! My wing has never felt so smooth and no more low speed wobble when coming to a stop. I put 2 oz. in front and 3 oz. in rear. After my return, I closely inspected the tires and see no early evidence of cupping what so ever. I am sold on these beads!! |

Great balancing alternative
I purchased them 2 years ago and installed them along with Elite III's. I am replacing both tires with almost 18,000 miles on them. The rear is becoming dry and the front still has probably 3,000 left, but I like to change tires at the same time. I have taken it multiple times from the first time of installation and a few time during at speeds up to 115 MPH and it drove like riding on glass. Bought them again with my new set. Will never traditional balance again. The benefits of always having your tires balanced it great. I saw one or 2 people say they did nothing. You need to make sure you put in the proper amount and use the valve stem with the built in non clog valve is you wish. Yes, Once in a while had the beads get caught in the stem, but all I had to do it pop a little air in the valve to dis-lodge and all was OK. |

Did nothing
1st I added these to my tires and left the lead wheel weights on. I went for a ride and couldnt feel anything good or bad. Next I removed the lead wheel weights now I had a bad fibration. I went stright to the dealer and had my wheels rebalanced and now Im back to where I was before I added these. |

Immediate Difference
After trashing the Metzler 880 after only 10000 miles and putting on the the new Dunlop on the rear, I noticed an immediate difference in the ride. 1500 miles later they still seem to be working great, but I will review after 10000 to see the long term effect. Only one post in this stream says to use 2oz, which I did according to the instructions. I can't figure out why everyone else is putting 3-4ozs in a 180 tire. By the way, I bought the 70 series, not the 60. It corrects the error in the speedo almost perfectly. Only off 1 MPH at 80 MPH according to Garmin. My mileage seems to have increased as well. I don't know if it is the new tire, the beads, the difference in tire size or a combination of these factors. |

Not satisfied
Biggest problem was having the valve stem stuck open because abed became lodged. Had to remove the inner stem to dislodge. Not really sure if they helped my driving performance. They are the cheapest alternative. |
