Counteract

Vibration in the steering wheel or handlebars at higher speeds is often caused by wheel imbalance. Counteract makes balancing beads that go directly inside the tire and redistribute continuously, keeping the wheel balanced as you drive. Here you’ll find balancing beads and accessories for motorcycles, pickups, SUVs and off-road vehicles.

A different way to balance wheels

Counteract is a North American brand specialising in dynamic balancing with beads inside the tire. The idea is simple: instead of lead weights on the rim, a measured amount of small beads is added to the tire. As the wheel rotates, the beads settle where weight is missing and counter the imbalance. Because they adjust constantly, they can also compensate as the tire wears or when mud and dirt build up on the wheel. The solution is popular with truck, pickup and motorcycle owners.

Counteract’s key products

The core of the range is balancing beads in bags or dispenser bottles, matched to tire size and vehicle type. There are quantities for everything from motorcycle tires to large off-road and truck tires. The beads can be added when mounting the tire or through the valve with a fill tool. Counteract also offers filtered valve cores that stop the beads from clogging the valve when you inflate the tire. See each product for which quantity suits your tire size.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find the right amount of balancing beads?

The amount depends on the size and weight of the tire. Counteract lists recommended quantities based on tire size, so you can choose the right bag or dose. See the description of each product.

Can balancing beads be used with tire pressure sensors?

Many use the beads in tires with pressure sensors. It is still a good idea to use filtered valve cores so the beads don’t lodge in the valve. Always check the guidance for your vehicle.
