[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1313882, member: 3828"] They are hucksters. From their web page: Sounds like if you use their product instead of the traditional balancing weights that you'll save some coin, right? Let's read the actual "study" :.. So their test was comparing fuel economy of a heavily loaded 18 wheeler truck with their balancing beads installed to one with totally unbalanced wheels. Gee, you mean you might lose some fuel economy if your wheels are bouncing down the road? Go figure. I also do not believe their 20 Million installation claim. I looked to see where these things are available and the closest US dealership in in Erie PA? They seem to have more retailer in Canada, which is where they are from. [/QUOTE]
