Do you use that balance powder in your tyres?

Thanks BA a few of these things may help , . ; : in future. The reason behind the question is that the families fleet are running the Equal powder and given we don't pump our tires with dry N there is going to be X amount of moisture ,and the valve stem wouldn't seat properly ,this occurred to me on one occasion with the valve at the bottom of the wheel . Equal T/M are now using glass beads as their preferred medium .
