Snake oil for tyres? ;)

Sounds too good to be true to me.

very old idea!!!!
 but has some merits, theory says the beads will go to the part of the tyre that is out of rounds thus creating a weight on that particualr part of the tyre and stopping the out of balance allowing the car tyre to run truer and hence not wear out in one place giving longer life, as to whether it works cant say as never flaming tried it!!!
but i woudnt mind betting its not worth the cost!! :y

bah, will centrafugal force hold it in place everytime the contact patch goes by once every revolution?..... Might do, but thats a hell of a thump up the arse each turn of the wheel.

How can it work better the less you use? If i read that correctly. Will it be spot on if non used at all?

If a tyre is out of round, wont the beads go to the outer most point? And make the problem worse?

How can they know any differential between the thickness of the tyre between the inside surface and the outside surface?

Hmmm, I am thinking of rushing out to buy a big bag of marbles, in theory it will work just the same.
On the other hand - Nah!   ;)
