Automatic Tire Balancers?...

Has anyone had any experance with these at all:

My friend with a 95 2wd auto CTD reg cab is considering them for his truck. Personally, I'm wary of adding anything else to an axle due to stress concentrations developing in ball joins and axle components. Perhaps it's better just to have you tires balalced & rotated every so often?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

No weight really to them. No noise inside the cab either. (they make a swooshing noise I am told) I have 285 BFG that won't balance. These make it stop shaking. Get them on ebay cheaper than the dealer.

I use Dynabeads, one time and you never have to balance again. They dynamically balance the tires according to speed, wear, road conditions etc. And they are probably a lot cheaper than this solution.

I even use them on my XR with ***** and bead locks and they run smooth.

Just another alternative
