Dyna Beads

I don't know about the rest of you, but I cannot find an available tire and wheel company to deal with my trailer tires. I do have a Camping World in New Braunfels, TX, about 25 miles away, but I would have to leave the trailer for at leasts 2 days. Anyway, I like to have the tires rotated and balanced. I ordered and received Dyna Beads, and today, tackled the job. The hydraulic jacks/levelers lifted the trailer off of the ground, I removed the valve core on the wheels, poured in the Dyna Beads, and rotated. It took about 4 hours, but with my SiL, got the job done. I have previously used the Dyna Bead on a GoldWing, and this seemed the simplest solution to get the tlr tires balanced. It's been a good day.

Clev,
I have used the Centramatics on my last Suites, and my 450s. They are a one-time install and forget them. About $200 for both axles. www.centramatic.com
Nothing wrong with the bead approach unless you have to remove a tire for some reason.

Thanks, Wing; I've never heard of the Centramatic, but I'll take a look.

For years I had the beads in my front tires on my International truck. Could never quite remove the slight vibration out of the tires. Bought Centramatic's and all the vibration was gone. Ended up buying them for the trailer too, just in case? I removed all the wheel weights and only used the Centramatic rings.
