I would think that there would be some long term wear on the inside of the tyre, but how much wear?

just got to yr local wheel place and ask them to balance the wheels
but you dont want them on the outside of the wheel they stick them to the inside to easy and it dont show

all my wheels have been done that way

Dave,

I am not in need of wheel balancing, just put this up for curiosity ❗

hmmm? thats a weird way of balancing your tyres, guess is works like a harmonic balancer?

Its just easier to use the mag wheel weight as you don't see them much and don't damage your rim like standard weights.

I found girl sucked into car blower great too Kev

was after the beads video.. lol
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
those beads work excellent..
and I don't believe they would wear your tyres ...

but Would stop You needing to have Your tyres balanced...

so save You money...

I wonder how much Your tyres wheels could be out of wack
for them to work...

the plastic bottle had very little weight... next to nothing..

a tyre wheel package already has a lot of weight...????

what happens if its already perfect???????

A great idea,.,... Lee

You won't get a good balance that way. You need to balance in two planes to get a dynamic balance.
