Re: Centramatic Wheel Balancers

Big open lug mud tires are the worst to balance. Lots of mass hanging out there and they usually are out of round to boot. They will wear in and feel better until you cram the brakes hard and flat spot them somewhere else. One balancing trick i learned along time ago is if a tire takes to much wieght you need to break it back down and reinstall it 180 degrees. Usually that will fix the problem. I had one a tire shop did that had over 14 ounces hung on it. After breaking it down and remounting it has less than 2! They didn't line up the sticker.

I never tried the rings myself but I looked into them years ago. Some guys were having luck and some not. Beads do work most of the time and are cheap. I am glad that rings worked for you. Like most things in life there are many ways to get the desired result.
