I keep reading about these "balancing beads" for dynamically balancing wheels.

does anyone have any experience with them?

This guy has a grassroots version of them

there are a few people in the off-road community that use them to balance mud tires that are usually difficult to get/keep balanced. i've heard of people using everything from airsoft BBs to steel shot to golf balls, the concept is the same with any of them.

I had a 100mpg carburetor but the oil companies stole it.

Y'all thinking they're snake oil? They do work, but make certain things a pain if you have tpms. Concept is the same as the tci balancers for muscle cars.
