ANyone use this stuff ......it is the balancing powder for tires....where did you get it and did you like it

Dave at RTR

I use it in my dodge 3500 4x4. I have the 315/70/17's on it and I think it is FANTASTIC!!! there are a few other similar products out there that I would look at if I was to do it over again. "Counter-act" or "counter-balance" or something like that makes a product that does the same thing only it is steell instead of the sand like stuff that equal makes.the bonus with the steel is that it's not as bothered by moist air and it won't get stuck in your valve stems either. Either way you go I think you'll be very pleased with it.

I use Equal to balance my 36" Iroks, and it works perfectly for me. You can buy it from 4 Wheel Parts.

I have used it several times and find it only works well in tires 36" or shorter. Every 44" tire I've tried to balance with it has gotten more out of balance than before it was done.

Maybe it is just places where the humidity is high (like here in KS) but that crap will ball and clump up like dough.

Tried it on a set of 38" TSL's.... I really do not think that it is that good. Regular lead weights worked way better. Maybe it would have worked better with a radial tire, but with a bias ply tire, I would stick with lead weights. My .02 :flipoff2:

Hey Rugger...your 2 cents is good money. I have found that the Equal did not do enough of a balance job on my 36" TSL to be justified. I also found that the stuff "contaminated" the valve core seal and air would slowly leak out if a cap was not used. I had 8 oz in each tire....which is about the equiv of about 32 oz of lead on the radius of the rim.....I ended up breaking the tire down, washing 50 bucks away and taking them to Discount tire for another 60 for a dynamic balance.....much better balance. Equal attempts a balance in 1 plane.
Now Dave, if your curiousity is killing you, you might consider substituting some sand .....it's a lot cheaper and if you like the results then go for the Equal.
