Dyna Beads
Just bought new tires and had Dyna Beads put in for balancing. I remember hearing that the beads come in a bag and it takes a while for the bag to disintegrate and release the beads. Is that correct ?...

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 . . . . .
Question I have is . . . . . I have Dyna Beads in the front set. Should I remove them when I have wheel balancing weights installed?
(I suspect not necessary)
