Growing up in the country and driving on gravel roads most of my life, gave me a unique way of evaluating how trucks and the accessories perform on dirt roads as well as the asphalt. Centramatic balancers can take the vibration out of the steering wheel. It's hard to keep a tire balanced on the rough roads that a lot of trucks live on. So just after a few months of driving, your tires don't fill new anymore. And then there is the cupping that the front tires like to do.
Pot holes, gravel ruts and washboards constantly beat on your tires. The heavy duty tires on your trucks and trailers have a deep thick sidewall that takes the first impact from the road surface. These thick tires are dramatically harder to keep balanced than a car tire considering the weight they carry and abuse dished out. I know several folks who just gave up trying to keep the trailer tires balanced. Why not have your tires auto balance as your drive.
I went out to ranch that a friend owns, (yes I have a friend or two) and tested out these Centramatic balancers in the rugged wild west. The test truck was a 1997 Ford F250 crew cab diesel. With diesels being so popular in the 3/4 ton trucks and above, the extra weight from a diesel engine keeps your front tires working. The tires had 10,424 miles on them. And as most of these 10 ply 16 inch tires do after a few miles, you can feel the vibration in the steering wheel and notice the extra effort it takes to steer through the gravel ribbons in the road. And that's how this truck felt with 10,000 miles on it. We added the Centramatic automatic truck wheel balancers and you guessed it, the vibrations gone and it steered better. That vibration at the steering wheel does get irritating doesn't it? I'm going to test these balancers on high mileage horse trailers that travel across the country daily, for a long term test next.

So easy to install. Add them to your truck and trailer and have that "just new" ride again! Centramatic "ON-BOARD" Balancers
permanently mount to the vehicle, (between the wheel and hub on the front
and between the wheels on the dual rear). The product uses centrifugal force
and deflection from rotation to automatically distribute free moving weights
(Durametal and synthetic dampening fluid) sealed in the balancer. These free
moving weights or balancing media, precisely balance the entire assembly.
This includes the tire, wheel, hub, drum/rotor even rocks in the tread or
mud, snow and ice stuck to the wheels. Critical to balancers of this type is
the amount of balancing media used. Simply stated if 8 oz. if imbalance
exists, 8oz. or more of balancing media must be available to counter its
effect. The remainder will space out evenly in the tube. This is why our
balancer depending on size, have from 16-32 oz. of balancing media,
available if needed.
These balancer discs will also protect your tires from brake dust and brake heat. A long lasting product is great but consistently extending tire life 25-50% is what gets customers sold and excited about Centramatic's. In March of 2001 they received a tire ran on the steer position with Centramatic, with an amazing 221,325 miles on it. Even more amazing is that this steer tire has 8/32 of tread remaining.

Whether you are driving highways or those rough gravel roads. You will be able to tell the difference in handling and driving fatigue.
How long do you think those lead weights will keep that heavy 10 ply tire bouncing down those ruts and pot holes in balance? Come on guess!
The Centramatic automatic wheel balancers will make your tires last longer. If you drive on rough pothole roads, the lead weights that balance your tires will bounce off and then your tires will vibrate and you can feel it in the steering wheel. When your tires are out of balance, the sidewalls flex more creating heat and heat makes the tires soft and then they wear faster. HD 3/4 ton trucks and larger have tires that are E rated 10-ply with stiff side walls which makes them harder to keep balanced. The Centramatic balancers keep adjusting as you drive, even if you have mud or snow packed in the wheels. |
Automatic truck wheel
balancers, beside reducing your tire heat by 8 to 10% and increasing
tire life by 25 to 50%, the design also helps reduce brake heat and brake
dust that transfers to the tires and wheels. These "On Board" balancers will

these.
