I have a question, I have asked around on a number of boards. There are a couple guys in Jonfund running EQUAL in their tires to balance them. I found a couple others that are using BB's.  Yet another guy is running Centramatics. I am getting tired of re-balancing after every trip playing in the rocks. What are your experiences with EQUAL, BB's or CENTRAMATICS? Thanks guys! CW |

can you be a little more descriptive about these things. my tires are all out of balance and i know if i get em balanced it'll only be till i take it off road again.
are they okay for daily drivers?

so we can clear this up without and end the the wise a*# remarks, equal is a product that you put into your tires. it is a powder substance that when your tires spin pushes out and "equals" the tires or balances them.
centramatic systems are something that you bolt on between your tires and hubs that also balances your tires.
they both work good, i know several people who use them and they are all satisfied with the results.
another option is to use BBs' or golf balls, i have no first hand experience with this idea. but i have heard it works. i would have no idea how many to use etc.
i hope this helps

Equal is very fine sand that is in a thin tissue paper like bag that you drop in the tire before seating the bead. The bag breaks apart when you drive and the sand balances the tire.
