Nice BFG's

Equal? Holy Hogwash Batman! (call me skeptical )

So ya put a bunch of ceramic beads in the tires, they roll around (ofcourse they will "go whereever they're needed", it's called "gravity") and as a shock/vibration wave travels inward it is transfered to the beads and the amplitude is decreased so that by the time it gets to the tush on the seat it is noticeably decreased so ya go "Ahhh, that feels good". This is the "Moshi" effect, like those dolls or neck pillows that you take on the plane. Hmmm, but what about the waves that travel outside the tires and on to the body of the vehicle? Do you need a 1mm layer of bead or 5cm layer of bead to actually make a different on the tush? Do road waves/vibrations what matters or is it the big pot hole/crack in the road waves that compresses the tires and travels onto your vetebral column that gets ya? No layer of bead's gonna dampen the latter, me thinks. But hey, educate me on them beads.
