ceramic bead balancing trailer tires

[ma1950]

Can there be any problems with adding more than the suggested amount of beads in the tires?

I was told by my tire guy, yes ! The size of the tire determines how many beads. I used to run xcountry owner op and in the old days on 24.5 tires, we used to put 3 golf balls in each tire, lol !! BUT, it worked, and was cheap ! Later I would run "Balance Masters" which was a disc with an enclosed ring of Mercury around the outside that mounted between the studs and the rim. It worked great and always balanced even as they wear and was guaranteed for 10 yrs. That's about a million miles !! I wish they made them for 14 and 15" wheels !!
