Centramatic Wheel Balancers

Has anyone here ever ran “Centramatic” wheel balancers?
What are some thoughts on them?

I've had them on multiple vehicles for years now, and have been very pleased with them. There are quite a few threads on the topic already.
For example: https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...ht=centramatic

Install and see them on big trucks pretty often. Have never heard a negative comment, and that is unusual. If truckers don't like it-they tell you.

I think I may try a set. For the price of two tires it could be worth it.

I have had them for a few yrs. , like them a lot .
I had some near new tires when I put them on , was getting a little chop wear on the outside edge of the front tire's .
The shocks were old .
Put the the Centermatic's on , and the chop wore off , now the tires are wore down to the tread wear bars , evenly across the all 4 tires .
I like buying products that pay me back .

There's two sets in the classifieds now. I have them, been running them for a couple years now and won't be without them again. The truck rides smoother than it did new, tires last 3-5k longer.

Amen to that...And yeah we sell quite a few of em too. Never had anyone complain. As an added bonus for pick-ups, it seems like they would cut down on brake dust on your wheels quite a bit, too, acting as a shield.
