What is the Rain Stick effect?

I have heard of the balance beads before and Riptide9 was telling me about using airsoft pellets.

I have heard both pros and cons. So do they work or not? Either Balance beads or airsoft pellets.:idontknow:

Just cannot get my head around how they would ever work. I get the part about cent. force spinning the beads out. But how would an out of balance situation be corrected by pellets in a tire?

I've ordered a set of five Trail Ready beadlock wheels in 17" and I'm going to throw my 37" Goodyear MT/R's on them. I've researched several options for internal balancing from using the Dynabead packs to a hand full of 20mm hard rubber balls from a paintball type gun. Then someone suggested placing 4 golf balls in each tire. Any thoughts on internal balancing 37's and would the golf ball thing work?


I've said a lot about the beads in a few threads. It's exhausting. In this thread- post number 39, I posted a video of them in my wife's trailblazer. The sound was rediculous. I've had them in my 37s, my wife's rig, and my buddies 47s all with success, but still wouldn't recommend them simply because they are so annoying. I currently don't have them in any of my rigs and probably never will again unless I have a balancing issue that can't be otherwise solved.

And I wouldn't even think about the golf balls.

I'll let you know how they work, or not. I'll see if your email makes it the whole way there.
