Balance Beads

TECH Plus balancing beads are a ceramic-coated loose-bead compound poured inside the tire — they shift and redistribute on their own as the tire spins, balancing dynamically instead of relying on a fixed clip-on or stick-on weight. Bagged by weight to match tire size, with bulk tubs available to refill your own dispensing setup.

Products shown reflect our standard van inventory — what's typically stocked and ready for your next scheduled stop. Don't see what you need? We have access to a much broader product line. Just ask.

Important: TECH International products are available to customers within our 16-county service territory in northern and central Michigan only.

Sizing Reference

Tire Size Application Chart

From TECH's official Tech Plus application chart (Feb. 2017). Find your tire size below for the bead amount needed — each part number is color-coded so you can spot the right size at a glance.

Size not listed here at all? Use 1 oz of beads per 10 lbs of tire weight. Sizes marked * (55-series or lower) should be used in combination with a static balance. For heavy-ply light truck (LT) tires, use one size larger than indicated.
