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
