Centramatic Wheel Ballancers

Has anyone used these? I have a buddy that has them on his Dakota and they seem to work for him. His truck is obviously lighter and he tows less weight. I am still running the factory tires but plan to upgrade in the future.

I own a trucking company and have them on 35 semi-trucks. We believe in them. I put them on trucks drivers swore the front end was coming out or they needed new tires, and they never knew what I done to them. Been a user for over 7 years now and no problems.

My experience was not great. I have a set (stored in my garage), but took them off. I subsequently had the tires on my Excursion and F250 balanced on the vehicle. This did a better job of balancing in my opinion. Just one guys experience -- I know others who have nothing but positive things to say. I have a set in my garage if you are interested in a good deal.

I have a set that I use on my 94 F250. They work good, but only with the factory wheel. If you are going to put on a set of aftermarket wheels, they won't fit as intended.
