Counteract Balancing Beads, Wundermittel ala scratch pen or real alternative? Since I have just mounted the winter bikes on my everyday car I want to write a few words about it. The set of winter tires (renewed) came on the rims before last winter and was equipped with Counteract. The most fuzzy was to get the tattery pearls in the tires. Due to the electrostatic charges they have a crazy own life. However, they don’t run through the valve shaft themselves. I tried to inflate them which doesn’t work. Then I pulled vacuum pressure on the tires with a vacuum pump and had the little shitties suck in, so it works perfectly. Since I have the inclination to tend to retread tyres on a 90hp car with 95% city share, I have a great test object. Tyre services also maintain the mär the retreaded tire are virtually not balanced out, next to the Märc Anyway, the tyres astonished me with perfect running behaviour already last winter. Better than any one of them even more meticulously classically balanced tyres. That may be related to the fact that they only start their balancing process on the vehicle and thus also compensate for unbalances of the suspension. I wondered if the storage of the function would be detrimental and the answer is no! The winter tyres ran right away again perfectly, better than the classically balanced tyres. So for me, the counteract is not a miracle product from television advertising, but a really ingenious balancing method.
