Tire Balance - truitt44@...> - 05-30-2007 07:27 Has anyone used the Magnum Tire Balancing Compound. If so what is your first hand experience. Howard Truitt Camilla, Ga. 86 PT40 Tire Balance - Tom Warner - 05-30-2007 08:26 Howard I have about 40# of counteract balancing beads and the injector which I am about ready to sell on ebay as soon as I get time to do it I have no further use for it so just want to get rid of it. It attracts my friends that want free tire balancing "just to see if it works". At one time I was considering being the East coast distributer for Counteract nd bought a couple of cases of the product and the commercial injector to inject the beads thru the tire valve stem without removing the tires from the truck or motorhome. I wanted to be sure that it really worked before I invested the money to start the franchise. Turned out to be an awful lot of work to get the project going and would leave me no time for my other projects. This stuff is fantastic for those big tires the mudders use for off the road racing and for the heavy RV tires. I have balanced a couple of tires from a mercedes that others could not do with lead weights on the rims. I also balanced the tires on my 1982 FC35 with it and it worked good. I have counteract for both car tires and truck/ RV tires of all sizes, and both the throw in bags for new tires and bulk for injection all in measured bags.. . Its almost the same as Magnum balancing compound except counteract is not effected by water moisture. I have put it in RV tires to try it and it works very well and is easy to install on the coach without removing the tires. You need to make sure to install the special valve cores at the same time which contain filters so the beads dont blow back and get caught in the valve and start a leak. tom warner Vernon Center,NY 1985 PT 40 At 03:27 PM 5/30/2007, you wrote: >Has anyone used the Magnum Tire Balancing Compound.

He says more and more of the truckers are asking for it. He tells me Magnum changed to a silicon bead that moisture does not effect. I'm planing on giving it a try unless the historic consensus on the forum is bad.. Do you use any lead weights mounted 180 degrees from the air valve to counteract the weight of the valves and allow the Magnum to cover high or low spots.

I have a chart showing the tire size and amount of beads for each. The bags are color coded so you just have to grab the blue bag and throw it inside the tire for example. I say correctly installed Howard since some of these guys just love to wipe a lot of sealant around the tire bead before throwing in the bag and if there is the slightest amount on the bag or there is a hole in it, some can stick to the sealant and then you cant get rid of the leak. For a 12R22.5 tire you will need 12 oz in each front tire and 14 oz in the duals. Should cost you at least $80 for the magnum. You can see how the other balancing beads compare but I cant honest attest to whether this information is correct for I have never seen Magnum beads. http://www.counteractbalancing.com/compare.htm I am going to list mine for $100 for about 40# and the injector which was $90 by itself. tom warner vernon center,ny 1985 PT40 At 06:11 PM 5/30/2007, you wrote: >Tom, >My local big truck shop who's owner is a friend sells and installs >the Magnum.

I have been puttering with it for a couple of years now, no shake or funny tire wear to speak of yet. Cheap too. Using about 12 oz per tire. I can't abide by that equal sand stuff, particularly in light of the "special" valve stem filter required. I tried it once, never again. MH ----- Original Message ----- From: truitt44@...

Then when you stop it does it all over again. Interesting.
