Bead massage reduces road force vibration by an average of seven pounds. Some assemblies can see road force reductions well over 20 pounds!
To bead massage you need a dual bead roller center-clamp tire changer. While still clamped, inflate the tire to OEM recommended pressure and refit the core. One at a time, bring the bead roller against the sidewall of the tire at the rim edge and press approximately 1/4 inch into the tire. Rotate two or three revolutions for each bead.
Bead massage takes less than a minute, but can significantly reduce road force, a leading cause of vibration.
