Centramatic Balancers

[Lonnieb]

Has anybody installed Centramatic Balancers on their tires? If so did you notice any differences? I'm looking at balancing beads vs Centramatic Balancers. Beads are cheaper but Centramatic Balancers are a one time install. Truck tire shop wants $35 to dismount and reinstall and $35 to spin balance per tire....

I knew some folks who used them on their bikes, and they loved them...

But for the money (IMHO):

I tried the beads on my front tires and although they helped some, they were a PITA to install. So I bit the bullet and bought the centramatics for the front and installed them myself. In my experience they work much better than the beads; maybe I needed more beads?

The cost is a one time upfront, so your tires always stay balance which is a strong selling point to me. My brother is a truck driver and he swears by them. Just wanted to hear what people that have use them on their RV thinks about them.

I have the Centamatics on my Goldwing, been using them for 13 years. Best product I've ever got for the tires/wheels. I've never balanced the tires since putting them on and get about 20% more tread life. big selling point for me was that they start working at about 5 mph and keep the tires balanced as all speeds. Weight balancing at set for a certain speed and your tires are only balanced at the speed, normally 55 to 65 mph..


And yes there are on the list of upgrades to the Vegas...

I did buy a set for front and back. Centramatic has excellent customer service. I even got a follow up call a few days after I received them. I got them the next day after I ordered them and I installed them the following day. Took it on a test run. I can tell a difference. Even though I had my front tires balanced I could still feel a vibration at certain speeds, so I'm pretty excited to get back on the road and see how they do. There is a 30 day money back guarantee and they have a warranty for 5 years. Will have a better ideal on how much of an improvement once we take another trip. Right now were being cations due to the unrest in our country.
