Tire Balance
Tom,
My local big truck shop who's owner is a friend sells and installs the Magnum. 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.
