When you guys install new tires,do you balance just the fronts or do you get the rears balanced also??

All of them.

I quit having all my on-road tires, even the semi and motorcycles spin/lead balanced about ten years ago.
Much cheaper and always perfectly balanced with these> http://www.innovativebalancing.com/index.php

Only reason spin/lead balancing is still around is because the tire shops make a ton of money off it.

I just put those Dyna Beads in my tires and you can't believe the difference, and my tires were all spin balanced. Just had a feeling they could be better. i think I may go with XCentramatics next set of tires instead of recapturing the beads though. There is a million of 'em!

sweet, my bud bought a tire machine and we never use it as we cannot balance tires.... now we can! Tire rack here i com

Well....I learned something here...I didn't know any of this stuff was around...

Interesting...I even found a DTR post about these..They look like a very good investment...And seem to work with aftermarket rims...

I'm still looking at a cost for a set for my dually...This sure beats going with the old school weights ...And you install them yourself and your gone.

Found the price...hmmmm $190 a pair....And you need 2 pair..Thats one thing...They are not cheap...

Dave the beads are only about 10 bucks a tire. That's why I went that way and am not dissapointed.

I assume you're talking about the Centramatics.
Beads do the same job for a fraction of the price.

Diesel Dave2

Yes...those are the ones...Found several posts here about them..

They don't mung up your mag wheels either...

Diesel Dave2

Hmmm...You mean they only work with stock rims??I know with my aftermarket rims,I keep the same size and offset...Could it still be a problem??

infidel

Think he's talking about the way lead weights scar your wheels...

D'oh.......I was busy at work and mis-read...
