96 EVO Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 On a '08 or so coach with disc brakes?

Chuck B 2004 Windsor Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Berry at Josam's recommended them. I ran them on my 2004 Windsor for 6 years. Worked great. Chuck B 2004 Windsor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliksem Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 I have run them in the steers on my 09 HR Imperial with discs for years Would not go without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr4Film Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Josam's installed Balance Masters on my steers when I switched out the Badyear G-670 Tires for Toyo Tires. I will have a set put on the drives when those are done next year, 2023, followed with a set on the tags the year after that. 2024. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
96 EVO Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 Balance Masters don't appear to have the distribution network that Centramatic's have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I had Balance Masters put on the steer and drive wheels a few months ago. I did this after one of my steer tire lead weights came loose and propelled itself 2 inches into the bottom of the chassis. No damage fortunately. I had all lead weights removed from all tires and installed the Balance Masters. The one thing I did learn about the difference in Balance Masters and Centramatics is that the Balance Masters uses liquid Mercury as the balance media. The Centramatics use small steel shot balls. Just FYI, not a commercial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problems in the 10 yrs I have had them. Eventually I suppose my balls will wear out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before I added the Balance Masters the ride was fine as the steer tires were already balanced. But I do feel as though there is a bit of an improvement through out varying speeds. These are "dynamic" balancers and will keep the wheels in balance at different speeds as well as when the tires begin to wear. A great upgrade for me as I think they are well worth the investment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjh2916 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I have Centramatics on all three axles. I would not be without them. When I change tires I do not balance the tires, just let the Centramatics do their job. Coach rides like it's running on glass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willbo777 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I had always used beads up til my last tire purchase, and was never completely satisfied. When I put new steers on a couple years ago at Josam's, I had Barry install Balance Masters at the steer and the tag. Then when I replace the drive and tag in a year or so I will have him install Balance Masters at the drive. So far even with beads still in my drive tires the ride is noticeably smoother. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank McElroy Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I'm using Centramatic 600-640 for the drive and tag. 700-720 for the steer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
