They work good. No issues and vibes. I am getting to the point where my rotors need to be replaced though. ::UGH::

Weed - Are they still working out for you? I'm giving them a whirl since my tires shake like crazy at highway speeds.

Also, did you use their valve cores?

Work fine for me. Idk what the valve cores are that you mention. The install either by breaking the bead of the tire and putting them in the tire or by removing the valve from the valve stem. You can buy a bottle and clear hose to go over your valve stem at them point and put them in. It's slow but better than taking the tire off the rim

Once you remove the valve, they recommend you replace with their valve to prevent clogging. It looks like they sell the valve with every package.
http://www.counteractbalancing.com/faq.htm ("Do you need a valve filter to prevent the valve from clogging?")

You can see a pic one one here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CounterAct-T...567#vi-content

Anyway, if you haven't had any issues, I'm just going to get the beads in bulk like you did. Thanks

Never seen them personally. The didn't have or sell them when I got them but that was a long time ago. My valves never did clog so Idk what to tell you on that one. But if they come with then what's to lose
