A process familiar to most automotive shop environments is dismounting and mounting tires on wheel rims. This was originally done by using manual labor and tire lever bars, physically forcing the bead of tire to move around the rim lip on the wheel. This is still done in many circumstances, such as agricultural and OTR tires. However, most tires on passenger vehicles are now changed with a sophisticated tire changer machine, a dedicated piece of equipment designed to assist in the removal and reinstallation of tires.

Revolutionize Your Wheel Maintenance with Counteract's Innovative Solutions

Revolutionize Your Wheel Maintenance with Counteract's Innovative Solutions

Revolutionizing the wheel balancing game, MT-RSR is thrilled to announce our partnership with Counteract, the industry-leading supplier for dynamic wheel balancing solutions! Founded in 1997 just west of Toronto, Canada, Counteract was on a mission to provide a more efficient and environmentally friendly solution for balancing wheel and tire assemblies. And they did just that with Counteract Balancing Beads! These small, coated glass beads sit inside the tire and naturally distribute themselves through centrifugal force as the tire rolls. Say goodbye to traditional wheel weights and hello to a perfectly balanced ride! But that's not all, these beads last the lifetime of the tire and have a moisture repellent coating to prevent clumping. Plus, they are the ONLY dynamic wheel balancing solution proven to increase vehicle efficiency! And let's not forget, they also absorb heat to reduce wear over time.
