Re: [A/S] Wheel balancing beads

["Bob Snyder" <bsnyder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I just had new tires put on our motorhome (98 Cutter DP) and they used a
product called Equal. (See:
http://www.imiproducts.com/imi_htmlcode/imi_equa/imi_equa.html ).
Have only driven it 500 miles on the new tires, but the ride is smooth as
silk.  The original tires lasted 5 years and 60,000 miles, but I always had
some vibration.  The M/H has 22.5 inch aluminum wheels, and there were no
weights on them, so they were apparently not balanced when new.  Installer
said it was very important to use a special filtered valve core, and they
put a yellow band on the valve stems to indicate to any tire repairman that
Equal is inside the tire.
