I've used equal in two different sets of tires. Didn't care for it in either set. Tires were balanced much better with lead weights. This was several years ago so mabye the stuff is better now.

I've been running the ceramic beads in mine for about a year with no complaints. Using 10 oz. which is alittle overkill but it helps when there is mud on the rims. Also used them on an H1 38" TSL's with great results.

I drive a tractor trailer and they use one of those brands in the front tires, they just put the bag in but of course I don't air down. The stuff seems to work just fine. My rig has 24 inch aluminum wheels and the wheels are fine 180,000 miles.
