    Is this a better mouse trap? I don't know but I found the idea/concept fascinating.

    I read that too. Never seen it described before. Trying to figure out why it works (if it does). What are the beads made of? He doesn't say how many you put in each tyre, a handful ? Just a few? The whole bottle?

    Edit, whoops, you gave a different link to the one I saw. At least this gives quantity and material type, so,


    Anybody tried it with a 911? Does it work?


    Regards
    Mike

    Tried it on a van that's only used for towing to race events, so spends most of its time getting flat spots. Results with the beads were even worse then normal, so ended up having the beads removed at the track before starting the return trip.
