Centramatics shout out!
Just wanted to say what a great company Centramatics is! Ive been using thier balancers for over 100k miles between two trucks with excellent results! I just recently had a tire come off my 06 and destroyed the balancer (along with a bunch of other parts). I emailed them to inquire about the cost of a single balancer and they are sending one free of charge! Great customer service! Thanks Again Centramatics!!!!!!

I've been running them for about 3 1/2 yrs , they do work , there may be a problem with one of them , I emailed to see what needed to do to get warranted , just send some info & go , they said .
Only reason I have not done anything yet , is I am wanting to confirm what I suspect on a balancer [ do not have one ] .

Love the things, my father ran the same sort of thing on his 1970 Chevy with split rims. For all you that are running large off road tires I fully reccomend that you get a set. You will be amazed at the difference.

Centramatics Lies
Centramatic lies through their teeth about their stuff's capabilities. According to their website, their balancers won't help out of round tires. My Kaufman trailer came with Chinese crap tires with 3/4 of an inch of runout. Worse tires I have ever seen.
The Centramatic balancers actually make the junk tires tolerable. Once I get above about 30 MPH things smooth out, the trailer quits bouncing, and the load quits shimmying. Best $200 I ever spent.
Like I said, they lied.

Funny story about him though. He gets them and they are in a small light duty plastic bag that is meant to be thrown in the tire. That little bag comes in a larger bag with instruction written on it. The instructions say to just throw the light duty bag in the tire. He throws them in still inside the shipping bag. Drives the Jeep 20 miles and says these things are junk, can't keep the Jeep in the road at all from wheel bounce!!!! My Son is talking to him and realizes he's thrown the shipping bag in each tire!!! The shipping bag didn't break open so all the weight was in one concentrated area. Bounced like crazy. We had a great laugh out of that!!!
I use plastic BBs. $20 worth balanced two sets of tires.
