Powder Balancing

[randydupree]

tom.the tire guy i use has a clear glass jar with a bag of equal in it along
with a cup of water.its been sitting on his counter for years.there is no
clumping in this jar..is there different types of equal? smooth or clumpy?
also,i understand that the beads will rust and stick together if your coach sits
for a while.is that true?damn,i guess the golf balls were the right thing to use
after all. any insight on this matter ? randydupree93wb

Is this rebounding characteristic that noticeable when you do not have this
material in your tires? Does it make for a smoother ride? Jon

get these valve stems installed.

Actually I would not install equal in a RV tire unless you are going to put
a lot of miles on the tires. If it sits for any length of time and there is
even the slightest amount of water vapor in the tire the equal may clump.
Truckers use it and do not have these problems because the tires are
constantly moving.

On the other hand I have about 40# of Counteract balancing beads a compound
which I believe is better for RV use. I am not a dealer and do not intend
to sell it although I have the equipment and the product to both inject the
beads thru the vavle stem on a installed tire and the bags that are thrown
into the casing on new tires.

Counteract balancing beads differ from equal in that the composition of the
beads and the fact that water moisture does not effect it. In addition
counteract balancing beads come in two different compositions one for cars
and one for trucks or RVs. The two different beads are engineered for the
different tire rebounding characteristics between cars and trucks.

I now have it in my steer tires and when I install the new tires will
install it in both the steers and the rear duals.
