Just curious as I was thinking of trying them this tire change?

 

[trialsman]

Used them for many tire changes over the last few years and was very happy with them............until I got the Centramatics.

Can't go wrong with the beads though.

Absolutely!!

Ok maybe , however they work the same way,how that can be ?

 

[sharkwl]

Apples and oranges, my friend! No, they aren't the same! Centramatics are amazing and need to be experienced first hand to truly believe how great they are! :thumbup:

 

[3turtles]

Because I found something way better. Centramatics. Hands down

 

[pidjones]

Because the shop that mounts my tires uses way too much goop, which was causing the beads to clump and abrade the inside of the tire. They still seemed to balance well, though.

:agree:

Cause Centramatics are better.

I can't knock something I've never tried (Centermatics) but Dyna Beads sure do an excellent job at a whole lot less in price.

:yes1:

Used Dyna Beads previously with no problems. Now I use antifreeze (50/50 mix) - 2 fluid oz in the front, 3 fluid oz in the rear. Works just like the beads, clumping worries are eliminated, won't hurt the tire or rim, and the cost is insignificant.

Why antifreeze? If you want to use liquid, wouldnt some puncture sealer be a better idea?

Centra matics I too used beads first but the guy that did my tires wanted to beat me up for them. That and Centras are much better so smooth on the highway you can't compare.

Golf balls and banana's work better so I switched to them :joke:

I agree with what you said but an unwanted side effect would be the inability of a sticky rope plug to seal and vulcanize to the tire's rubber.
Something less slick may also work. Sealant as mentioned.
Good Luck!

Love my beads only 1800 tires I've had in 115,000 miles that didn't cup or wear funny front and back.

 

[dynodon]

just bought dyna beads and put them in my tires, and a jerk mechanic put on a new set of tires at my request and would not re-use the beads. I liked them. Should have charged the jerk mechanic for the beads!

will go with Centramatics from a better and nicer mechanic next week.

I recently went with the beads when I mounted up my new 'Stones. A big improvement over what was there before, a cupped Dunlop, said to have been balanced with lead weights. The weights were on the rim.

Beads are so much of an improvement. I find it hard to believe that there is that much room for improvement for over $200 to go to the Centramatics.
