    Your swampers probably jump under 25 cause they are bias and after all superswampers


    Here is some more reading on this if you are interested.

      Then they should work on these right?

          Personally, I think it'd be funnier than hell to see that thing cruising down the highway... IF it were at all possible, lol. Do the training wheels break away over 25mph like the space shuttle or something?

            Never tried it, but thought about it.

            If you had a repair done to your tire, this will confuse the heck out of those little beads. Since they will either accumulate on the single spot, or scatter away every time it gets to that point. Cant see that being a good thing for balancing.

            Now if you haven't done any repair to your tire, and taking centrifugal force into account, at high speed it would push your tire on the center line, trying to make it look like a V, resulting in less road surface contact. Cant see that beig a good thing either.

            Now balancing is to get the wheel to stop it from going up and down and not Wobble. All you need is for one of those beads to go sit in a group of others making it a odd cont on one side, resulting in your wheel being out of balance. So think you have a better chance of getting a unballanced wheeel with them in that without them.

            Honestly cant see how it works. Please explain...............
