How They Work
How ABC Alltyre Balancing Ceramic Beads work
ABC Beads use the centrifugal forces developed by the rotation of the wheel assembly to move freely inside the tyre, allowing the beads to adjust to the varying imbalance of the tyre and wheel assembly throughout its life.
ABC Beads automatically reposition themselves according to the new force created by heavy spots due to uneven wear and mud build-up on tyres and rims. This self-adjusting feature ensures that the tyres are constantly balanced. The beads remain in their appropriate locations until the vehicle comes to rest.
AT A STOP

Beads are on the bottom
IN MOTION

As the tyre begins to rotate the beads distribute themselves evenly inside the tyre
HEAVY SPOT



Heavy spot goes up
Beads go down
Beads go down
When the heavy spot goes up the beads resist the motion and are forced down
NO VIBRATIONS


Heavy spot goes up
Beads go down
Beads go down
REDUCED VIBRATIONS


As the vibrations reduce, the beads move to their final counterbalance position
Tyre is vibration free and the beads stay put due to centrifugal forces
