If you have weights, you can install DyanBeads to make sure everything is smooth but if you have Dyna Beads don't add weights unless you remove the DynaBeads first. You can put them back in after it's balanced using weights.

Maybe you will not need to have weights installed. Yes, from what I've read, you must remove the Dyna Beads before having the tires balanced with weights. The beads only disburse properly on a sprung axle where the beads can respond to downward/upward force generated by the tire. They will not disburse properly on the balance machine.

I don't know what a Schrader valve is, but I had the beads put in my motorhome tires. They screwed up several of the tires and had to remount them. The first tire the guy tried to remount it with the loose beads still in the tire and the blew all over the place. He ended up vacuuming the remaining ones out and put a new bag of beads in.

With schrader valve at the top or side there's not enough turbulence to blow them out.

The bag is very flimsy, as soon as you drive down the road it is going to open up.

If you open the bag and pour them in, how do you keep the beads in the tire when you try and seat the tire bead? I thought the main purpose of leaving them in the bag to begin with is so when you seat the bead they don't all blow out.

I ordered mine on-line, and ordered the larger RV beads that won't go through the schrader valve.

I installed them myself by jacking the tire (coach leveler), deflating the tire then pushing in the bead off the rim and slipping them through the crack. Truck tire sidewalls are a lot softer than you think!

You'll need a compressor with enough volume to reseat the bead and get the tire back up to operating psi. Mine is 120V (2 hp?) with a 10? gal tank. If there is difficulty reseating the bead you can run a ratcheting tie down around the circumference of the tire to push the bead up against the rim.

You'll NEED jack stands for the rear inside tires. I didn't instal any on the rear set . . . . .

FWIW...the Camping World store I use in Bridgeton, NJ has quite a selection of these beads I presume for different size tires on different RVs.

Most truck tire stores will have them.

They will have the standard Dynabeads but very few shops have the larger RV Dynabeads. Order them online and take them to a shop to install or install them yourself with the applicator bottle.
