Alternative to tire balance?

[toku58]

Any opinions on this?

sounds fishy to me..... their product seems to target larger trucks, busses, industrial etc. maby stuff that can't be accurately balanced on your typical hunter balancer. if your wheels can be dynamicly balanced on a hunter, you won't need their product. their test vehicle was a kenworth..... the product doesn't start working until 20-22mph, and tested at 60mph.

i don't think so.... if you drove 8hrs a day, non stop, every day.... maby....

although it would be very entertaining to put one of their rings on a hunter machine with a wheel and tire, to see if it really didn't need to add a weight? they sure didn't show that on their test....

Yeah I didn't think it would work well in stop and go daily driving. Just wanted to see what others taught. Thanks!

I'm going with DynaBeads instead of wheel weights. I'll let ya know how they work once I get them.

It's too early in the morning to be thinking about stuff like that. Now last night, it was a different story.

I am interested in how those dynabeads work...I know they work by centrifical force, but not sure how it would work effectively...byfilling in the dimples inside the tire?

The product mentioned in the first post sounds like a harmonic type balancer. Neat idea and sounds like it works on over the road trucks. Wonder if it would work on our trucks? It would probably space the wheel out in the wheel well more. If you were looking at new wheels and tires, you could get more back spacing and make it look stock.

From what I've read, those Centramatic balancers are for semi tires or real big off road tires. Like 40 inchers.

The Dynabeads spread out by centrifugal force. They naturally roll to the spot that is most unbalanced.

There are some threads about it on TTORA's tire/wheel forum.

Here's the DynaBeads website. http://www.innovativebalancing.com/

Those DynaBeads sounds like a great ideal!! Please be sure to let us know how they work, Pb. If they do great I'd be willing to buy some and eliminate the dreaded tire balancing thing.

Hey PB, are you having balancing problems with your Goodyear's? I was just wondering, since I'm considering purchasing those tires.
