tire balancing products

Yahoo Message Number: 40124
Have read with interest everyone comments about balancing tires and out of round issue. When i put new "shoes" on our 2000 Affinity last year I had a few problems to fix from the former owner. They had put a pair of 12R's on the front and taken the 315R's from the front and place on the tag. They must not have completely raised the tag once and drug the tag tires and really flatten a spot on both of them.
They were all long dated tires - 1999 production dates -- So it was really time just to replace them all. And that is what i did -- with B F Goodrich. And have been very happy. No out of round problems and a nice smooth ride. Before i had them mounted -- i looked back on a bunch of posts looking for what others had said about the centramatic product and those like products. Most people like them, thought they helped and would recommend using them. My only problem was the cost.
A bit pricey up front. So i went with a product that was called Dyna Beads. Info found at www.inovativebalancing.com. I compared them to balancing powder and glass bead (sand) ect. They weren't very expensive were easy to install and dont' hurt the smart tire system.
I would recommend to everyone. They rebalance your tires every time they come up to speed just like the centramatic type product does. A nice alternative.
