Tire Balance

[Leroy Eckert]

Mike;
So you put BB's inside the tires, they roll counter clockwise and find the light
spot in the tire as you come up to speed. Then when you stop it does it all
over again. Interesting.

Some one in the past on forum mentioned using BB gun ammunition. 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.

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.
