Counteract tire balance beads

[Oldfireguy]

I am a stickler on tire balance. I read Alliance installs Counteract balance beads in the tires/wheels on their fifth wheels. I installed the Counteract beads on my last fiver and was very happy with the beads. Can anyone confirm the factory does indeed install these balancing beads?

I know that they do on the 2025 Paradigms, not sure about earlier year models.

Justdee, thank you for responding. We just took delivery of our new 2025 paradigm 385FL. It has upgraded independent Morryde suspension with 17.5” tires. I couldn’t find anything in the trailer or on the wheels/tires stating the Counteract beads were installed. I was going to order beads and install them, glad I asked someone in the know.

The red valve stem cover has the words "CounterAct". I looked it up and it is for wheel balancing. See picture.

Not sure on the upgraded suspension and tires? like he said below, check for the red valve stem. My tires have them on my factory suspension 310RL.
Keep us posted on that IS. It's an expensive upgrade but they say it is worth it if you can afford it.
