When perusing various forums, I saw posts by a lot of people wbo said the beads were bogus. Even when other people said they did back-to-back tests, starting without beads, then adding the beads (to the same tire/rim combination) and seeing huge improvements, some people (maybe "idiots," as you say) seemed reluctant to believe it. Some claimed it was obvious that the physics don't support it. Of course, these supposed physicists didn't offer up any physics equations or real-world test data to back up their nay-saying. When a trucker got on one forum and offered up strong evidence, repeated over a lifetime of truck driving, that's when I became much more convinced. And of course, the nay-sayers didn't bother to respond.
