Possibly because a lot of modern tires have ribs on the inside (mine do), which would prevent the beads from rolling.MA702Tone;1241755 said:I found this on there F&Q's :
Why don't you have tire charts for cars or SUV's?
We do not market to cars and SUV’s intentionally.
The main reason (among others) is due to the style of modern car tires.
For cars and SUV’s, traditional weight balancing is the best method.

last time i load a personal picture :3d_frown: those were for the gas station before prices dropped....
some body buy the kit and take it to your local tire guy. pump them in and see what affect they have. (edit: i dont know if a tire balancing machine can spin fast enough to represent high speed) Any other way to cost effectively test them?
Supracentral;1240749 said:I'd like to see a scientific explanation of how this supposedly works. Think about it this way, if there is a heavy spot on your tire, it is going to cause that spot to be pulled a little further away from the rim via centrifugal force and the beads should settle there thus increasing the out of balance situation. I read their "how it works" page and I don't buy it.
In reality, modern high performance tires (like the ones we run on Supras) are very well made. So much in fact that the tires are generally very well balanced and the wheels are more out of balance than the rubber.
I call bullshit until someone can tell me how this product defies the laws of physics.
Note:Testimonials, your "butt" dyno, and any number of "my friend had" stories aren't going to convince me. I want to know where the science is.
