Your tires work hard. Between road friction, heavy loads, and long hours at highway speeds, they’re under constant stress. One of the biggest issues drivers don’t always think about? Heat.
Heat: The Tire Problem You Don’t See
When tires run too hot, problems start to add up:
-
Rubber compounds break down, reducing grip and overall durability
-
Air pressure rises, increasing the risk of blowouts
-
Tread separation becomes more likely, especially at higher speeds
Some heat is normal, but poor tire balance makes it worse. Out-of-balance tires vibrate as they roll. That vibration creates extra friction, which leads to even more heat buildup—and more wear.
A Better Way to Balance: Counteract Balancing Beads
Traditional wheel weights can help, but they don’t account for changes that happen over time. As tires wear or conditions change, new imbalances can develop.
Counteract Balancing Beads work differently. Installed inside the tire, they continuously distribute themselves as you drive, automatically adjusting to keep the tire balanced at all speeds.
The result:
-
Less vibration
-
A smoother ride
-
Reduced heat buildup
Tires that run cooler last longer, perform better, and are less likely to suffer heat-related failures.
Bottom Line
Whether you’re running heavy-duty trucks, trailers, or just want to get more life out of your tires, controlling heat matters. Excessive heat shortens tire life—but proper, dynamic balancing with Counteract Balancing Beads helps keep tires cooler, smoother, and safer mile after mile.
