I have read a lot of the post in reference to this. I also visited the site. The demonstration looked convincing. How many of you guys have tried this, and what do you think, what kind of results have you got? From what I gathered the wheel and tire do not have to be balanced with weights off a dynamic balancer; that the Centarmatic balancer will simply do it. Is that true? Or, do they have to be balanced? Are they easy to install? Are they still going for $200 or so?

Had some on an previous vehicle and they DO work....
similar to balancing your ceiling fan with a weight, except it's continuos....
Now, is it worth it ???
Only think it is if you have a balancing problem....

I had them on my Hummer H1 and, yes, they DO work for tires/wheels which are difficult to balance. They key, however, is to get your combination balanced to the best of your ability then apply the Centrimatics. The tire/wheel combo for the H1 (steel 2-piece rims, runflats and full tread) weighed in at a whopping 155lbs each .
