Anybody using or have experience with the dynamic wheel balancers on the market today? I have seen adds for the Balacemaster and Centermatics claiming to eliminate vibration and improve tire wear. Wondering if they really work and are worth the investment.
Thanks

Do not use the external balancers but have been using EQUAL in my tires for years. This is a balancing powder that work on the some principal as the external balancers for a fraction of the cost.
And the stuff works great. |

I've used Centermatic balancers on the front of my 4104 for over 10 years, they work great and are well worth the investment!

Liquid Tire Balance at about the same cost as EQUAL and does not gum up with moisture. I live in the humid Southeast. Cost should run about $15 to $20 per tire. It is advertized as a balancer cooler sealer (not puncture just gradual air loss). Someone posted that transmission fluid works but voids the tire warrenty. |

I bought balancemasters. They did not help on my old set of tires. They were already cupped. On replacing the tires, they work as advertised. I've had them 3 yrs, probably 30K miles. |
