the Equal is a powder stuff so i could see the clumping and problems that you had. The Innovative Balancing DynaBeads are little ceramic beads so do you think that the same problems would exist or do you thnk the beads would work better.

May be better, but I think it will still be like a static balance unstead of a dynamic balance since the inside of a tire is shaped so the beads will mainly spin in the center of the tread.

naaa the land rover guys said equal worked great ,until it clumped , but the ceramic you don't have to worry about it ,plus your tires are always balanced ,no need to head to the shop ever other oilchange bechause they are out again. try it ,you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.also i haven't been to a tire shop yet that has anyone worth there weight in pee , most guys that work ther eare getting min wage and could care less about how your tires are balanced.

Just for the record the Equal I took out of my tires was not clumped, it was dry as a bone.

I agree about it being hard to get good balance from a tire shop, it can be very frustrating. It helps if you ask for a dynamic balance (wheel weights on the inside and outside of the rim). The wider your tires are the more important it is to get a dynamic balance.

I probably should have said earlier that I ditched my Toyota factory wheels 9 years ago and I've never even seen one of those adapter things.

I get some steering wheel shimmy around 55-60 mph, but it started when I got the TrXus MT's on so I doubt it's the suspension.
