I have Centramatics on all four corners of my truck. The difference of smoothness in the ride is noticeable and worth it to me. I never considered putting them on the trailer. I would think your air pin box is dissipating enough trailer energy that you wouldn't notice trailer tires' balance improvements in the cab of your truck. My trailer bearings are sensitive to wheel offset which the Centramatics increase so I wouldn't use them. Might try the beads for thirty bucks though.
I feel zero vibration from the RV without weights. I was thinking these tires being so heavy it's possible they could cause bearing damage from being unbalanced.
I do like the idea of the weights being centered on the inside of the wheel. Biggest concern is if they spend the time to make sure the surface is prepped properly.
Maybe I should just spend the money on Centermatics for the truck when it's time to replace the tires.
