Got my new BFG's last weekend and schooled the guy up to do a good balance job. He suggested a packet of "Equal " performance tyre balance powder (6 oz) in my 285/75/16's and the tyre will continually balance it self. Damn me no wheel weights and after 500 metres at 80 k's the packet breaks and all shaking stops - smooth as!!
Fair dinkum, I thought a out it but never tried them.

Wtf?? Not equal as in the sugar??
Does it work with all tyres? Or just the bigger ones?
Sent from a device which doesn't always agree with my thumbs...

Does the vehicle shake for 500 m every time you go for a spin?
IF IT'S NOT A NISSAN.
THEN IT'S A COMPROMISE
Found this on "Equal" Performance Powder

early days yet but so far so good.
Hey Robo good question- makes sense it could shake untill the stuff spreads around eachtime. So far I could say I've noticed a slight shake ( v minor) at around 40 -50 K's but quickly dissapears!

Hey BigGQWesty -see web sight below apparenty it is a polomer. The tyre guy looked up a chart to get the amount to use but am aware he had 3 oz and 6 oz packets
If you have tube less tyres couldn't you simply DIY.
support axle.
remove valve.
open packet.
pour inside tyre through valve.
replace valve and pump up again?????

apparantly they used to pump the stuff in through the valve - surley would be easier to break the bead and push the little bag in and pump up.
