I installed Centramatic on my Bronco

These things are amazing, and they work!!!! Have a look at my gallery to see what they look like. Well worth the cost!

Well I asked jeeves and I found out that they are on-board tire balancers for a longer life tire and a smoother ride.

yes they auto balance your tires. As your tires wear or pick up snow or dirt they will adjust and balance your tires. I needed new tires and wanted to find something that would make them last longer and stay balance for I was tired of having to take them of and on all the time to balance a rotate them just to get a good ride, only to have a weight come off down the road. I will not own another truck with out these things. Go to Centramatic web site for more details. www.Centramatic.com

Yep, that's what I thought. Same as having sand in your tire. Cool deal though.

Same but better, no moisture and clumping/freezing problem and simpler to install.
