Default Tire Balance

Has any DB Members used the ceramic ball balance system in their tires? The manufactures claim this system is the best available and the ceramic ***** keep your tire balanced until warn out.

I've used stuff called Equal, it looks like white sand, seems to work pretty good especially on bigger tires that are hard to balance.

Golfballs would be a bit on the big size. I'm considering using ceramic BBs in my 19.5s when I get new tires, that or centramatic balancing rings. I have an uncle that has them on his RV and swears by them. Says they are smoother at speed than just-balanced tires.

I run them in mine as well as on many customers tires. They are awesome and a huge time saving from balancing big tires. Also keeps ugly *** weights off your wheels

Tyler, do you mean you run golfballs or BBs? I'm guessing BBs, but just making sure...
