Will Counteract Filtered Tire Valve Core Work With Equal Flexx Tire Balancing Beads

Question:

Can this valve core be used with other beads than Counteract? My technicians installed Equal Flex Tire Balancing Beads I have no further information. Is this valve core a better choice than the Counteract Filtered Tire Valve Core CA38FR for this purpose? FYI. I have a 35’ Class A MH with 275/80R22.5 tires @ 100 psi, aluminum wheels and stems.

The Counteract Filtered Tire Valve Core, # CA38FR is a step up from the # CA26FR. Each option replaces your existing tire valve core to work in conjunction with Counteract tire balancing beads.

The Equal Flexx product is not a balancing bead, it is a granular polymer compound. The concept is similar, but it is different. The Counteract tire valve cores are designed for their products, per the manufacturer, they should not be used with a different product line.
