Regardless of whether or not a tire has balance beads, a plugged tire (IMHO) should be properly patched as soon as possible. Although, I do agree that balance beads will stick to any adhesive used with either a plug or a patch if, it comes into contact. Thusly, throws out the balance of most tires.

Even moisture in the tire could freeze beads or the quality of the beads.
The bottom line is on care tires spend the money and do it right.

hyperv6,
While I admit to being cheap about most things in life, this is not about the money. I'm simply curious about the effectiveness, the good, the bad and issues with balance beads in a passenger car (Solstice, Chevy half-ton pickup or my wife's Honda Ridgeline). I also can't remember ever not blowing out and/or drying a tire that was being mounted.
I may or may not move forward on this but it's a question in my mind that I thought I'd ask this group about.
Thanks for your input.

IMHO, you posted this topic as a question, however when I read all of your replies, I only see defense, defense, defense!
'Do It' or Not
And please end the defensive position as I believe you decided before the post....
Good Luck!
PS - This section is General Fiero Chat and the post isn't about a 'Fiero'. I believe this thread is better in the "NON-FIERO" sections... [This message has been edited by Vintage-Nut (edited 10-13-2025).]
