Here are some frequently asked questions about Rabaconda Balancing Beads to help you understand their benefits and proper usage:
1. What makes Rabaconda Balancing Beads different?
Rabaconda Balancing Beads are made from high-quality tempered glass, ensuring durability and consistent performance. They are designed to improve fuel economy, extend tire life, and provide a smoother ride.
2. How much of the product do I need for my tires?
The required amount depends on your vehicle type, tire size, and tread aggressiveness. Refer to our application chart or use our online calculator to determine the correct quantity for your specific tires.
3. Will using Rabaconda Balancing Beads void my tire warranty?
No, using Rabaconda Balancing Beads does not void tire warranties. They do not harm the inside of the tire, and once removed, there's no indication they were ever installed.
4. Can I install too many balancing beads in a tire?
Yes, installing too many beads can cause a slight imbalance, especially in smaller tires with limited internal space. It's essential to follow our recommended application charts to ensure optimal performance.
5. Are Rabaconda Balancing Beads reusable?
While the beads are durable and can be reused, caution is advised. Reusing beads may introduce contaminants or result in loss of some beads, potentially reducing effectiveness. For optimal performance, it's recommended to use fresh beads with each tire change.
6. Are the beads compatible with Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS)?
Yes, Rabaconda Balancing Beads are compatible with TPMS when installed inside the tire. However, they should not be injected through the valve stem if TPMS sensors are attached, as the sensors may obstruct entry. In such cases, install the beads during tire mounting.
7. Can I use Rabaconda Balancing Beads alongside traditional wheel weights?
It's not recommended to combine balancing beads with traditional wheel weights, as they can counteract each other's effectiveness. Rabaconda Balancing Beads are designed to balance the entire rotating assembly on their own, eliminating the need for additional weights.
8. Will the beads clump due to moisture inside the tire?
No, Rabaconda Balancing Beads have a special coating that prevents clumping, even in the presence of moisture. This ensures consistent performance throughout the life of the tire.
9. How long do the balancing beads last?
Rabaconda Balancing Beads are designed to last for the life of the tire. They do not break down over time and will continue to provide balancing benefits as long as the tire is in use.
10. How do I remove the beads from the tire?
To remove the beads, you can use a vacuum cleaner or carefully scoop them out after dismounting the tire. Ensure all beads are collected to prevent any imbalance issues during reinstallation.
11. Are the beads compatible with inner tubes?
Yes, the beads are compatible with all inner tubes. They must be installed inside the tube, not between the tube and tire. Usually, it is easier to install them into the tube before putting the tube in the tire, however, if the tube is already installed, they can easily be install that way as well. Sometimes a new tube is airtight when it comes out of the box, so they are best to give the tube a bit of air before removing the valve core and installing the beads, this just allows the tube to shape a bit and allow for easier injection.
