Which balance beads where to get installed near Houston, TX

I want to use balance beads in my new G614 tires but I do not know which beads to use or where to get them installed. The dynabeads supplier in NY says that I need the larger beads for an RV and they will not go through the valve stem and should be installed by someone experienced with them so as to not get the sealant gunk inside the tire and stick to beads.

Which beads are you using by brand and size and how were they installed? If I need an experienced installer, do you know of one near Houston, Tx. ?

I've tried them on a fleet at work. I think they are worthless, at best they just roll around in there and maybe plug up your valve stem check valve.
At worst they get wet and stick together all on one side.

Just spin balance them.

We use them on all of our RV tires. We get them from the Peterbilt dealer near by. They use them on of their Semi Truck tires.

Oh Yeah-the bags look just like the picture above

I don't use any. The old fashioned method of balancing with weights has always worked for me just like it has for millions of others. If the balance beads were so good why don't they use that method on new cars and trucks? It's certainly less labor intensive. All you need to do is remove the vale core, pour them in, replace the valve core and re=inflate the tire. Doesn't sound like you need to know much more than that to try them...I would never allow any sealant gunk inside my tires if that's what they want to use. Ask any tire shop about how it makes it impossible to repair a flat...
