Getting ready for tires , was wondering if anyone has used these either together or separately and what the thoughts or results are.
Thanks Marty

Together. Love the Borg’s. Tire balance rides smooth with the beads so far after 3,000 mi. .

Yet in general they work just fine…you know that.
Also to the OP, I can’t think of a reason why the type of valve stem would make a difference in either scenario (weights or balance beads).

As the article mentioned, this poster did NOT follow the 2-scoops recommendation, and therefore, can't be held up as an accurate review. Never heard of these beads nor do I really care to try'em out......just wanted to be CLEAR that the reviewer failed to follow the instructions.
