I have heard of it but never used it. It is mostly used on BIG tires(like on a semi)where you can't get enough weight in one place.Also it is kinda pricy. Does this help? Oh, some people use it because they don't like the look of wheel weights.  |

If you take the rig across/thru water, than I wouldn't recommend it. If that Equal gets wet, then it'll clump up like clay and defeat its own purpose  . I've heard alot of guys using bb's to balance their big tires...

According to their web sites FAQ's...
If Water Is Inside A Tire, Does It Have Any Effect On Equal?
Equal does not absorb moisture in any manner. Equal is a plastic polymer granule, and thus water or moisture will not change its composition. Moisture that accumulates inside the tire will evaporate due to normal driving conditions and therefore is in contact with Equal for a very short time. Equal, when in contact with large amounts of water--to the point where it is actually floating in the pooled water--will do just that, float. This will interfere with the ability of Equal to optimize the given tire in the way that the tire dealer or fleet had intended when installing the product. Simply, this means that although Equal will never damage the tire in any way, if it is in contact with large amounts of water, it cannot perform its job. Again, it is important to reiterate, that in most cases, moisture will evaporate due to the heat build up in normal driving, and once the moisture has evaporated, Equal will perform as it originally did.
