Re: Centramatics or Balance Master? Reply #26 – September 16, 2014, 06:28:55 am Catfish I have been using centramatics on my Peterbilt big truck for 7 years or so. I have the tires spin balanced when they are new and the centramatics keep them in balance through the tire life.I am getting over 135,000 out of steer tires and 2 to 300,000 out of my super single drive tires.I like them.

Re: Centramatics or Balance Master? Reply #28 – September 16, 2014, 11:33:24 am Should a person install these centramatics only on new tires or what? Richard B Quote Selected
Re: Centramatics or Balance Master? Reply #29 – September 16, 2014, 11:35:09 am Richard, Install the Centramatics anytime, probably More convenient to install when having wheels off for other work and would save a few bucks labor.Gary B Quote Selected
Re: Centramatics or Balance Master? Reply #30 – September 16, 2014, 11:48:17 am I don't know for sure but I think I heard that Centramatics will install them for free if you stop by their shop. Not bad if you're in the neighborhood. Quote Selected 1 Likes
Re: Centramatics or Balance Master? Reply #31 – September 16, 2014, 12:02:32 pm I have been running centramatics on my coach front and rear for about 8 years now, when I install new tires I have steer tires balanced. The centramatics keep everything running smooth.Bill Quote Selected

Re: Centramatics or Balance Master? Reply #33 – April 15, 2015, 10:23:51 am In northern New Mexico we are low-tech and lag behind innovation. Don't have any balancing machines that can handle these tires. So the local shop offered me "bean bags." They seem to work. But I rarely go over 80 mph these days, unless going downhill on well-known mountain roads. I now use the bags (something similar to Equal is my guess) in pickups and cars. Andy1 Quote Selected
