      Wheel balancers use to go on car hubcaps and were sold in JC Whitney, now they are made in Texas and save you money. Yeah, I'm using Rhoadmasters now. Have fun, cause tomorrow is MOnday?

    Are they inexpensive? So we still should have em balanced at the shop with the lead weights? Thanks 🙏

      For a set of 4 for a non dually, only $200, what's a 10 ply truck tire cost?

      @@MrTruckTV Seems not too outrageous price, unlike many things. From the smarter people I've spoken with, they also say to have travel trailer tires properly balanced. I was thinking for my 22' Keystone dual axle travel trailer. But i guess I can't go wrong putting them on a 2019 or the 2022 Ram Laramie 1500 4×4s also, right? So, I'd need eight total. And do they have to be the exact same measurements as each tire they go on? What about still doing the regular lead weight balance? I think you said we should still have the tires balanced the standard typical way. and definitely if we get brand new ones. Also did you do a video on when it's time to replace travel trailer tires?? I'm gonna scroll through your vids, maybe you did. Thanks, safe travels 🙏

    Just put a few ounces of antifreeze in the tire and it will self balance the tire on the highway.

      I do that. Only problem with that is you can’t plug a hole on the side of the road.

      Big difference on dualls and when there is mud or snow in-between duals, Centremanic balances that too in duals

      Put a set on the front and rear of my 2022 F450. They certainly made a big difference, especially in the rear. I can certainly vouch for their operation on dual tire setup.
