I think the bead stuff is bunk but at least you didn't buy expensive custom beads and I doubt they'll do any damage. Why are they only marketed by a "No name" company and not used by the OEs ?
Get a balance using a Hunter GSP9700 machine and you won't have any problems. They can hide the weights inside the rim and match the tire better to the rim to reduce total weight. The machine can also detect tire problems that others can't.

dude, you're on crack. The beads work great. I have 34" bias ply tires on my 40 and the only thing that would balance them were the beads. It is fairly simple how it works.

and yes, repack your bearings. It's not hard.
