They need balancing with the proper attachment because there studcentric not hubcentric wheels
Tyre fitters tend to just leave the cone on the machine to make life easy.

Jack, I've heard of those being used in vintage car wire-wheels but never found anyone that admits to using them!
I did wonder if they were snake-oil; I assume you like them from your comment, but how long have you been using them and how many do/should you apply?

Had them in around 6 months
You get them from Devon 4x4
Just search on the website and look for your tyre size

Thank you Jack - I found the Devon 4x4 balancing beads info - very interesting but they're normally administered at the time of fitting the tyre, so would mean having to break the tyre-bead to get them in which is a bit of a pain - I did think they might be small enough to feed in through the valve stem.

You can break the bead of a tyre using a jack between the tyre and the chassis of a vehicle max
