That's like asking "What's the best model coach".

I prefer the Centramatic balancing disks because the balancing beads are in a separate disc sandwiched between the wheel and hub and not inside tires.

When you replace tires or if you get a tire repair, you don't need to worry abut the beads lost or the mess in the tire, and you can move the balancing disk to another coach if you sell/upgrade in the future. Plus the external disk is sealed so you don't need to wonder if the tire guy put in the correct amount of beads - and no worry of beads clogging the schrader valve or clumping (although not a big problem, but still...).

Downside to Centramics, they are a lot more expensive.

I used "Dyna Beads" in the tires on my coach, I have 315's on the front and 295's on the rear and tag axles. They work awesome and have for 3 years... The "Centramatic Disks" work great also but as CountryB said they are way more expensive...

I bought a lifetime supply from Quackenbush company Inc. Part number QBZ-58A 0.8 mm zirconium silicate beads. I think my container was about 5# when new and cost around $85, so they're waaaaay less expensive. They were the original suppliers to Innovative Balancing Dyna Beads. Buying in the bulk package saves a lot of money. I've used them for years in my motorcycles and motorhome. When having someone else mount my tires, I bag the correct amount of beads in separate zip-lock bags and give them to the shop. Years ago, they'd look at you funny because they didn't know what they were but now everyone does.
