Why Wet Roads Challenge Tire Performance
Rainwater forms a thin layer between your tires and the asphalt. This layer reduces grip, increases braking distance, and can cause hydroplaning when the tires lose contact with the road surface altogether.
Even a small amount of standing water can significantly affect control and stability, especially when tire pressure or balance is not optimal.
Common Problems Drivers Face on Wet Roads
Across light vehicles, motorcycles, and heavy-duty trucks, wet weather amplifies any small imbalance in the wheel assembly. The most frequent issues include:
Vibration and loss of steering precision – unbalanced tires can cause uneven contact with the road, leading to reduced control.
Increased braking distance – imbalance causes uneven tread wear, making tires less efficient when dispersing water.
Premature tire wear – over time, vibration and heat buildup damage the tread pattern, reducing overall lifespan.
Fuel inefficiency – unbalanced rotation increases rolling resistance, forcing the engine to work harder.
How Counteract Balancing Beads Make a Difference
Counteract’s dynamic balancing technology helps minimize these risks automatically.
By continuously redistributing inside the tire as it rotates, Counteract Balancing Beads adapt to changing road and load conditions, ensuring a stable and perfectly balanced wheel at all times.
This means:
Improved traction and grip on wet and slippery surfaces.
Reduced vibration and safer handling in heavy rain.
Even tread wear for better water dispersion.
Up to 2.2% improved fuel efficiency, even under adverse conditions.
Whether you drive a car, motorcycle, or heavy truck, Counteract helps keep you in control when conditions are anything but predictable.
A Simple Step Toward Safer Driving
In times like these, when Portugal faces intense rainfall due to the Claudia weather depression, preparation is key.
Balancing your tires with Counteract isn’t just about comfort or performance; it’s about safety. Properly balanced tires maintain consistent road contact, reduce the risk of hydroplaning, and enhance braking response on wet surfaces.
With Counteract, you don’t need to worry about rebalancing. Our beads adjust automatically, keeping your tires safe and efficient mile after mile.
Conclusion
Wet weather driving requires confidence, control, and technology that adapts in real time.
Counteract helps you achieve all three. From light vehicles to heavy fleets, our balancing beads deliver the stability you need, rain or shine.
