counteract tire beads......work!

I didn't have positive results with them. The science made sense, but the results didn't produce.

I balanced all 18 wheels, and put Centramatics on every axle.

 

Yep, I have Centramatics on every axle too, best investment for your tires.

 

I have good luck with counteract beads also. Tires wear evenly and smoothly. Truck rides smooth as silk.

 

I run 12oz of ceramic balancing beads in each of my semi tires. I use them to balance my motorcycles, cars, and trailers. As the OP said when I changed my semi tires they had the powder crap in them... it is the worst thing for your tires.

 

I've had good luck with the beads as well.

 

when you take the tyres off get a scoop and scoop all the beads out and use them again

 

I use Equal in the steers and it works great for me. You have to check pressures with the valve stems at the top of the wheel and make sure the air is dry, something you can only be 100% sure of in your own shop. Next time I get new drives I'll put them in there.

 

I have been partial to Balance Masters rings on my steers, but I use the beads in my wide based drive tires. Got 447,000 miles out of last set of drives, still had 8-9/32nd tread and no uneven wear, got $150 for each of the used tires from my dealer. Have averaged 225,000 miles on my steers.

 

Good to hear!
