Pros: affordable and perfect balancing for the do-it-yourselfer
Cons: takes patience to install through the valve stem
Dyna-beads make it possible for the shade tree mechanic to change his own tires and avoid costly shop fees. When you change tires as much as I do, that can save a lot of money. An internet search will reveal the therory behind the balancing beads for those who want to research more. Let me tell you,,, it works. Perfect balance that adapts to changes as the tire wears through it's lifespan. Have faith. Take off all old weights because you won't need them. To keep the inside of the tire dry, I use baby powder as a lubricant to install the tire. It works almost as well as soap and prevents the wet, sticky residue that might foul the action of the ceramic beads and cause wheel corosion.

Pros: mounts easily, good grip,
Cons: none yet
These are quite similar to Conti Trails, but at a much better price. They turn in well on the road, and have surprisingly good traction in gravel and forested single track. Right mix for BMW 650 Dakar.
Dyna Beads - COGnosticator GA
Recommended by Reviewer: Yes
Pros: Solved my front wheel balance problem
Cons: A pain to put in through the valve stem, I was too lazy to take the wheels off the bike
I had a balance problem from using a static balancer and lead weights and had a small vibration from either my front or rear wheel. I decided to go with the Dyna Beads for both front and rear and glad I did. I was too lazy to take the wheels off and it took about an hour to get the beads in the front and rear but after I got them in there and went for a ride, the problem has been solved. I have a couple of thousand miles on the bike since putting them in and haven't noticed the vibration since. They worked for me thumbs up

20,000 miles with them and love them. Just make sure yoiu get there valve core too, it has a screen in it to keep the beads out of the valve core when airing down for off road. They will get stuck in there core. Then ya have to pull the core out to get it to hold air in tire. Not to do just a pain the arse. But they are well worth it to get....JD

Great product. Forgot the little applicator thing on first order so needed to get it. Now the tires are on and no balance problems to report. Definitly better than paying to have you tires balanced...

Pros: No wheel balance needed, Dyna Beads balenced it perfectly
Cons: Some what difficult to insert into the valve stem
I ordered the Dyna Beads on a recommendation from a friend. After I changed the tire on my V-Star, I removed the spoke balance weights and put the Dyna Beads in through the valve stem. I am not sure how it could have been easier but the beads kept packing up in the valve stem and I would have to take a picking tool and stir it around to make them flow in. After I put the recommended amount in, took about 10 mins I was finished. I have ridden the bike several times and reached speeds up to 70 mph with absolute total smoothness.

Used on my BMW. worked good. Took some time to get done on 1st tire. 2nd tire only took half the time. 300 miles since change and no real complaints.

I use them in my Ducati and i have never noticed a problem. I was sold after a friend at Harley shop told me to use them. 4k on my rear and haven't noticed any change to wear or handling.

I put 1 oz of dyna beads in the front tire on my Triumph Tiger. It is 110/80 - 19 with a tube. When I took my bike for a test ride, it wobbled and shook all over the place. I called Dyna Beads and talked with a friendly lady. She asked me if I used a new tube and I advised her I did. She told me to make sure my spokes were tight and she sent me another oz of beads. She told me to try 1/2 the pack and if it still wasn't balanced then to put the other half in. I ended up using the whole oz and still would not balance. I contacted Avon to see if they had any suggestions and they quickly told me that they didn't recommend Dyna Beads for there tires. I ended up removing the wheel again and unable to get the beads out of the tube, I had to go with another new tube. I had the tire balanced with weights and put the wheel back on and went for a ride and the ride was smooth. I was really surprised by the Dyna Beads not working. Every review I have read had positive results and I talked with a friend that used them in his Gold Wing and loved them. Also, I work closely with the trucking industry and about 12 years ago a mechanic told me that they used 5 or 6 golf balls in there steering tires to balance them and they worked great. Kind of the same theory as Dyna Beads. However, I guess every now and then you run into some that they don't work on. From now on my tires will be balanced with weights.

READ EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU BUY.
If you don't, you'll get the beads, but not the applicator.
"We recommend the applicator also if you do not already have it" means "No applicator comes with the beads: it's an extra cost item."
