centramatic balancers

Does anyone run these for tire balancing? I don't have a balancing issue per say but I could use some fine tuning. I get a little shake here and there and would love to completely eliminate it.

Re:centramatic balancers

I have been using these balancers for the last two months. I haven't gone all that meany miles, but they do seem to smooth out the highway ride. I run larger then stock, mudd tires, and really never had a "balance" probalem, but I do think they helped. Is seems to be a little quieter, and feels smoother. The only odd thing about them, is all the attention you will draw when running around town. A very slow speeds (like coming to a stop, or pulling away) the bb's that are suspended in the silicone, make a weird noise, and people will look. From what others have told me, it sounds like an big air leak.

I use the counteract balancing beads without any lead weight.

These are available at many tire shops that handle motorhomes.

Re:centramatic balancers

i tried them a couple years ago on my jeep after four wheeler magazine ran an article. dont waste your money! the customer service is great from the company, but the product sucks. i tried two different sets, thinking the first set was bad, but they just couldnt do the trick. i had them on 33" bfg mt's which normally balance well.
