Centermatics or Balance Beads ???

New tires arriving this week from Simple Tire. My aluminum wheels don't have a lip for weights and I don't trust the stick on weights to stay put. Money not to be considered any suggestions and reasons for why.

New tires are GY KMAX T 245/70/R17.5 LR "J" and 18 ply @75# each with a carrying capacity of 6k @ 125psi $2,206.72 out the door.

Centermatics $219 set of 4.

  • Starting over I would use Balance Masters because they use liquid mercury.

    Sorry to hear that.
  • I have the centermatics on this rockwood we have but how can you tell when it was hard to feel anything in the truck unless maybe a big problem so time will tell if you see something but we will never know as this is again the last rv trip for us. I bought ours from Mr truck.com Lots of semi's have the centermatic and same here the new goodyear endurances we bought were not balanced from discount tire. chevman
