Dyna Beads

[OTRA]

I know this subject has been tossed around on here many times, but I still can't seem to find any definite answer. I am going to install Dunlop
Elite 3 bias on my 97 FLHTCI. I am leaning towards using dyna beads to balance the tires. Anyone used the beads on the Elite tires? I can't find a tire list on any of the distributors that list these size tires, showning how much to use. How much for the frt and rear? If anyone can give me a little insight I would be extremely grateful. As in the past I am so glad this forum exists, so thanks in advance.

I love them. You will get mixed reviews about them but to each his own.
Here is a link:

Tire Balancing Charts for Light Truck, Commercial and Motorcycles

BTW Jake Wilson has the as cheap as I have found them online.

But the real question is: Do they balance the tires, or do they dampen an out of balance condition?

when I replace my own rear tire I had to try the dyna beads - now I`m waiting for my tire repair guy to get me them to use in customer tires - I ran out of samples.
some of my friends have them in their hiway trucks & love em .

I would get over 18k on my rear tires and 25k on the fronts on my 08 Road Glide. Even wear front and rear. Main thing is to keep air checked to ensure long tire life.
