Centramatic auto wheel balancer

Is anyone running these? I just bought the dual dynamics load equalizers for the rear tires. During the sales process the guy tells me about these auto wheel balances that are supposed to be the bees knees. Just wanted to see if anyone had any real world feedback on them.

I've been running them on my 3500 for 4 years and have them on the Isata 5 as well. I haven't ever balanced the tire on the 3500. Had a buddy put them on his High Country 5ver as well and it helped with the walking going down the road.

I ran Centramatic on my fleet of Class 8 tractors and trailers for many years. Fantastic product! I extended the mileage on my Michelin X3 Energy steer tires from 175,000 average to 250,000 average. Extended the drive tires from 225, 000 to 350,000 average, Well worth it. I added then to my 2018 Isata 5 30FW. Ran them for 10 plus years in all kinds of weather.

What's the cost per tire on your I5?

Casey, it looks like they retail at $189 per pair for the rears and $179 per pair for the fronts. It appears that they install in-between the dual rear wheels so we'd only need one pair for the rear. quoting from their website:

"Steer axle balancers mount between the hub and wheel, while balancers for the duals mount between the dual wheels."

Rears....

Wheel Balancer 400-423 from Centramatic


Fronts....

I have them on our camper. I just had to open up the lug holes to the next 1/32".


So far, so good.

That pricing is correct from when I picked mine up at their warehouse. It is right next store to MHS in Alvaredo.
