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. |

Great Simple Concept That Works
I started using these on my Honda Valkyrie. Where regular weights worked when the tires are new, these work all the time as you wear out your wear. Also noticed a improvement in tire wear as I don't get the cupping anymore. |

Very SMOOTH
I was hesitant on tying these at first. I just had new tires mounted and balanced and they felt good. I put 2oz in the front and left the 1.25oz weights on as well. Very smooth so I removed the lead weights. Still great. Put 4oz in rear and removed the lead. Even with new tires and balancing, I can tell an improvement in the balance. They are perfect. Yes, they are hard to add through the valve stem but it is worth it. |

So far so good
I used these when I put on the new Bridgestones. Rode 1200 miles on I 75, Blue Ridge Parkway, Deals Gap and back home on I 75. Most of the trip was in less than favorable weather (wet!!!!). I could not tell any difference in the ride from the traditionally balanced Dunlops to the Bridgestones with the Dyna Beads. If the tire wear is as improved as stated in other reviews, I will do the same thing the next time I need to change tires. The best thing about this set up is that our local Honda dealer wanted over $400 to order the Bridgestones and then extra to mount and balance the tires. I spent $299 for the tires and $14 for the Dyna Beads and $21 for a Harbor Frieght motorcycle bead breaker. 2 hours later and I have new tires on my 08 wing. |

Bead in the Tire
While not a bad concept I swear I could feel the front bounce a bit when stopping (30mph down to the last few mph.).. This was likely due to the weight becoming unbalance in the dynamic shift of the beads. Now I like twisties or turns so tight that the RPM’s are wound out but you can't take the curve much faster than 25mph. This also seemed to be the speed the dynabead would cease doing their thing. Maybe some of this was my imagination but I did give'em a try with the new tire for about 1200 miles and just didnt like them too much. Maybe these beads are great for sportbike riders on a race track or straight highway long haul riders. Just not for me though so I went back to the old weights. Now what I may do is, later as the tire ends it's lifespan, say into the last 1500 miles then I may slip the beads back in to make up the difference as a tire may wear out of round. |

Etching
I had to replace a tire due to road damage, this tire had the Dyna beads in it and they did keep the tire in balance as stated. The only thing that I did see when the tire had been removed was that the wheel or rim which ever you prefer to call it had some etching marks plus a little showing on the valve stem. This caused me to think of what might happen with continue use over a long period of time. I’m trying a different type of beads in the new tire but I’m still running the Dyna beads in the other tire so I can get some comparison between the two. As of now both tire are in balance and the only different is the beads in the older tire fall to the bottom after stopping for any length of time. |
