    Any one here use the fluid to balance tires?

    I have it in my steers and it seems to work very well, wondering if i should run it in my drivers?

    I have never heard of fluid, are you sure it isn't balancing beads? I run beads in my steers and prefer them to weights.

    No its liquid looks just like antifreeze they put 3-4 oz in each tire.

    Ask your tire shop for something called "Equal" I tried it on a set of new steer tire's last month and seems to work good , paid an additional $25 per tire for it.

    Have been using a product called Ride On in all my tires for a couple of years. Balances the tires and will seal up a hole up to 1/4 inch in case you a prone to picking up nails or bolts. Washes out with plain water if you dismount the tire getting rid of it. Is charged by the ounce so depending on tire size will be around $20 per.
