Does anyone have front tire balancing beads in their front tires instead of wheel weights We are having trouble checking the air in the tires because the air comes out when checking pressure The beads clog the tire stems Does anyone have a solution

A common problem, I always check pressure with a gauge on an inflater.

Using compressed air to blow the schrader clear of debris then read pressure then a shot of compressed air to remove the inflater.....Skip 2002 Intrigue #11329.

I have the beads and sometimes they prevent the valve from reseating when checking pressure. To prevent this from happening I add a squirt of air to clear any beads from the valve before checking pressure. There are special valves available from the bead suppliers that have a filter on them to prevent the beads from getting to the valve seats and holding them open. When I replace my tires I will not use beads again because of this problem.Bob Cole2005 Inspire 51394From: Country-Coach-Owners@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Country-Coach-Owners@yahoogroups.com] Sent: Monday, September 4, 2017 5:31 AMTo: Country-Coach-Owners@yahoogroups.comSubject: [Country-Coach-Owners] tire deads    Does anyone have front tire balancing beads in their front tires instead of wheel weights  We are having trouble checking the air in the tires because the air comes out when checking pressure  The beads clog the tire stems  Does anyone have a solution  Bob 2000 Intrigue
