Tire balancing powders??

Anyone have any experiance with the new tire balancing products. They are bags of some sort that are installed into the tire and constantly keep things in balance they claim. My chevy with has factory drums which I have found are terribly out of wack. Wondered if this would help??

I had an experience with the disk that fits behind the wheel that claims to do the same thing. They seem to work very well for about 5-7 thousand miles them the plastic ring that holds the small steel shot wears out and you have to buy another. What your talking about sounds very similar.
I would recommend that you take your truck to some place that will balance the tire on the truck. This way the unbalanced wheel will be taken into consideration and compensated for.
Try a place that balances big truck tires.
Just my .02 hope it helps.
