I can understand Centramatics working at speeds say above 30mph.

Serious question: When do they start working, is it from the start (1mph)?

While a good question from a physics standpoint, I wonder how much "out of balance" one could feel at speeds so low the Centramatics would not work.

Regular balancing was done for years and it really didn't do much.

Then came high speed spin balancing, which was better. But people never balance their tires like they should (which would be every tire rotation). Tires become out of balance as the wear and each tire will wear differently.

Now there is road force balancing because regular spin balancing wasn't doing their job. Just had my under 1500 mile tires that were spun balance rebalanced with road force balancing. They were all out of balance and are still slightly out of balance, but within road force specs.

I'd say something that will dynamically balance the tires and wheel assemblies as the tires changes is much better then the "old" way.

For me the tires will get balanced when installed and then let the centramatics care for them as they change due to wear.

But under 30 I'd say you couldn't tell and you're more likely to feel road surface changes. From what I read you won't feel tire problems until at least 30mph and anything under that is usually a bent rim problem.
