.... we were driving to town one time with the beads in that tire and hit a chuck hole about 10 miles from home and it must have been a just right hit on the tire because it started shaking real bad again for a few miles...if finally was perfectly balanced again and we could speed up .... but about 40 mph was tops when it was shaking badly .... it just doesn't work !

Never run in to problem and work fine for me in bikes I have rode them that had them and as wobble usually only start above 40mph not below that I use to sell tire
Also balance beads or centramatic balance rings the tires remain in balance from day one until you replace them
