I believe those little balls are rubber from the inside of the factory tire? I am not sure but thats what I have heard.

i heard that does ''balls'' are mud that entered between your tire and rim, and when the water get out of it, it makes little balls of sand that is running over your tires...

I dont see how you could have balls of sand, sand only clumps when it has moisture. how would it have moisture?

The "balls" inside your tires are where the tire has gotten hot and little chunks of rubber came off from inside the tire and are in there bouncing around.

i have yet to see the correct answer so here it is they are what some tire shops refer to as tire pearls they are nothing more the the bead sealer that honda uses to mount there tires its just excess that breaks loose anbuilds up and then you have these perfectly round ball that are worth nothing more than for winging at your buddies and if thrown hard enough they have been know to leave welts :uhoh: but its not mud nor sand and nor peables

How big are they? Will they make good slingshot ammo?

If anybody is willing to rip apart their tires, I'll buy your "tire pearls" from you for one penny each! :D

I've heard that if you use tire slime you can get them from that also.
