When was the last time you balanced your tires? You probably don’t think it’s so necessary since you installed lead weights. Lead weights are a popular wheel balancing solution. However, their long-term effectiveness is something to put into doubt. 

Technological advances and constant innovation have allowed wheel balancing beads to take the weights’ place, showing more benefits for drivers and vehicles. In this blog post, we’ll discuss how balancing beads are superior to lead weights.

 

How Are Balancing Beads Superior To Lead Weights?

According to experts, these are the 4 main ways in which balancing beads outsell lead weights:

  • Keep The Wheel Balanced At All Times:  Lead weights are only temporary. They become loose and detach eventually, which causes your vehicle to shake and vibrate again. On the other hand, Beads balance the complete life of the tire.
  • Balance The Complete Wheel Assembly: Unlike lead weights that can only be placed in a few positions on your tires, beads can be placed evenly around the entire circumference. This results in a more balanced wheel assembly and improved fuel economy.
  • Beads Are Protected From Road Hazards: Since they’re placed inside the tire, beads are less likely to be damaged by road hazards. This also helps save the environment from the problems caused by lead.
  • Beads Keep Your Car’s Aesthetic: If you have custom wheels, you know they’re not cheap. Lead weights can cause irreparable damage to them and make them lose their charm. On the other hand, Beads are invisible to others and will keep your car’s aesthetic.
