seems like a good idea. The video is pretty impressive. I didn't find any prices on these items though. With the tires slipping on the wheel, it seems like these would be the ticket to a great ride home.

That is the most reliable set-up when it comes to dynamic balancers.
I tried Equal for a while and it would not solve my vibe problems from imbalance. People have used that with Bias ply tires that have no weights on them and had it work better than with weights on the rim.
How bad are your tires that you are thinking of such a thing?

I have a set on my rear axle. They do what they say, but the diameter is just bearly bigger then the brake drum so they don't have a whole lot of control authority.
They do not fit the front because of the posistion of the brake caliper.
Get a set for the rear only. They do help.

I was thinking about getting a set, they are $199 for a set of 4. There are clearance issues with some Toyota models/years. The problem is clearance of the brake calipers, here is a thread with more info and a picture of what to check for clearance. http://www.4x4wire.com/forums/showfl...fpart=all&vc=1
