RE: retreads

Okay -- serious post this time.

Another approach to tire balancing.

I stumbled upon the web site listed below some time ago. (I had a heck of a time finding it again.) The web site might be worth looking at in the context of this thread.

I honestly do not know if the "non-traditional" methods of achieving static and dynamic tire balance are better/worse than the traditional stick-a-chunk-of-lead on the wheel tire balancing methods.

But, for what it might be worth, here is a link to the web site. There are two good videos to watch. (Warning: fairly large downloads):

http://www.centramatic.com/Demo/demo.php

The other pages of the web site also make for some interesting reading.

I wonder if any our our pro truck driver Jeepz-sters have had experience with the "centramatic" gizmos?

Regards,

Statically and Dynamically Unbalanced, Gadget
