Are Balancing Beads Better Than Sandbag Balancing?

We all know that balancing tires is an essential part of maintaining your fleet. Nonetheless, balancing a tire is hard, and it’s often difficult to get the job done right. If you don’t balance your tires regularly, they can wear out quickly and even cause blowouts.

At ABC Balancing Beads, we offer a better way to balance tires than sandbags or other common methods. ​​We have the injection tools to balance tires and complete wheel assembly on a vehicle taking as little as 5 minutes per tire. Get in touch with us to learn more about us.

Using Sandbags To Balance Tires

Using sandbags to balance tires is one wheel weight balancing method. The logic is that sandbags are thrown inside the tire to work as weights. When the vehicle is moving and reaches a certain speed, the sandbag, which has been rotating inside the tire, eventually balances the tire.

BUT, and there’s always a but, its disadvantages are more significant than its advantages. Using sandbags is not a proven, nor a trustworthy balancing method. You cannot fully trust the sandbag will actually balance the tire.

Moreover, when the vehicle is at a stop, the sandbag will fall to the bottom of the inside of the tire, meaning the tire will become unbalanced once again and until the vehicle reaches a certain speed.

Another risk is that the bag can get ripped and the sand will pour out, and combined with a little moisture, it can create lumps of sand that can affect the balancing of your tire even more.
