Bead balancing

Just bought 37x13.5x20 NITTO G2 all terrain. Trying to decide between BEAD balancing vs. Road Force? Any advice us appreciated

Not on my truck, but I had balance beads in my 35" Jeep tires. They sucked. They do nothing below 35 mph. They caused my TPMS system to not function, and a bad shake at highway speeds. They only balance centrifugally, so they don't work well laterally, like on wide tires.

From my research it seems the beads only work in car tires.

I plan on ordering some centromeric balancers. https://www.centramatic.com/

Had great luck with these

The beads worked well for me with some studded 35's and a bent wheel ..... Took all the shake out 10oz min in each 35 " tire
