Default wide 5 Wheels Straightned

I had 4 wide 5 wheels Straightened by Rim-True in Hollis Maine. I couldn't be more Happy. No more wobble or shake. Running 600x16 I added 4 ounces of Counteract Balancing Beads per tire No more damage from wheel weights flying off. Give Him a try you wont be sorry.Call Jerry 1-866-Rim True .

Ray, - Are you using tubes in your tires?

Yes tubes its a real Pain getting the beads in the valve stem. I used a water bottle with a gear oil container cap, a tube clamped to the valve stem. Is a very slow process but worth the time. if your rim has left to right wobble get them trued first.With tubeless tires you just throw the bag of beads in, Ray

Thanks, Ray. I plan to install 4 new17 inch radial tires on my '34 and to be safe I will be using inner tubes. I didn't know if the Counteract Beads would be compatible with inner tubes....

Yes you can use the beads with tubes, I called Counteract to verify before using them. Again get the rims checked prior to going thru putting beads in. If you have a bent rim the beads wont help. Get them trued first. Remember back in the day the wheels went thru hell. One last thing, If you know someone who gets a discount at Napa have them check out the cost. I paid a little under $6.00 for 4 ounce bag. Depending on were you get them the price is all over the place. good luck Ray
