Dynamic Tire Balancing

Sorry, can't help you. When I buy new tyres the tyre fitter balances them. The tyres then get moved around from corner to corner and deflated and re-inflated from time to time until they wear out. Then new ones get fitted and balanced.

I seem to recall that once (on a sedan) I had a weight fall off but it was cheap and easy to get the tyre rebalanced. Other than I can't say that I have ever had a problem, particularly a problem which would persuade me to put beads in my tyres - in spite of their claim I maintain that having nothing in your tyres is less abrasive than having beads. Also, I couldn't really work out the cost for a 4x4 but it seemed to be about US$70 plus odds and ends , this is around $90-95.

If you decide to go this way _gmd_pps keep careful figures of before and after fuel consumption and let us know if there are any benefits, I am always happy to learn.

Never seen the contents i guess its some kind of powder all i can do is ask local tyre bloke

Saw it at Wandin, it looks the goods

I did some searching last year searching for a way to balance my beadlocked swampers and came up with a few options but settled on MAGNUM. It worked so well with the swampers I tried it with the all terrains with the same fantastic results and then looked further into the product and started autobalance.com.au. Anyway check out www.autobalance.com.au for more info.

this is an awesome idea. basicly you could use fine dry sand, water or any substance which conforms to the shape of its container. I currently have slime in one tyre to fix a hole, slime would also do the trick, costs $25 per tyre and has the added advantage that if you puncture the tyre up to 6mm it will self fix for the life of the tyre. I may try taking off all the weight and putting slime in all the other tyres and see what happens.

Good one !! Keep it coming !!!

Ever heard of .............. ROSARY BEADS ........

If so :

If you are having problems with tire balance you should first determine if your wheels are round. An out of round wheel can be balanced on a machine but if it is not round it gives a rough ride. when an out of round wheel wears it can not wear evenly because of the weights so it then gets a flat spot about 90 degrees after the high spot. this flat spot changes the balance and the driver usually complains that the tires are crap or the balancer is a mug. The truth is that the driver is a mug for not testing the wheels. It is very easy to test the wheels, all you do is jack up the axle until there is a 1mm gap under the tire and then spin the wheel by hand, if any part of the tire touches the ground you wheels are suspect. Any decent brand of tire is round when new. From years of experience I can assure any driver that if your wheels are round you will not need any rebalancing or any gimmick junk. Wheels are normally cheaper than tires, a round wheel will give the longest tire life so will pay for itself as well as save on wear on shockers and steering. Cheep wheels are often crook especial if sold at discount prices because a dealer gets a complaint about a wheel and then changes it over until he gets a set of crook wheels and then sells them in the trading post. If you see a wheel with a stack of weights on it you can bet London to a Brick that the wheel is bent. Eric
