Why not use less expensive glass beads?

A:

• Our high-density ceramic beads are 60% heavier than glass beads, so that means that there is much fewer beads by volume in your tire. Too many beads in an area can cause wobbling of the tire, especially in small tires like motorcycles and scooters. The heavier the bead, the more efficient they are.


• Glass are substantially softer than hard ceramic, which means they will grind down relatively quickly when compared to our ceramic Dyna Beads.


• If beads get too small, and especially if they are made of a much lighter material, they are much more susceptible to "clumping" due to moisture.


• Shops report that dismounting tires that contain this pulverized glass is hazardous to their hands, to say nothing of breathing it in. Dyna Beads are safe for you, your shop personnel, and the Environment.
