POLL- Which method of tire balancing do you use?
Just a simple poll, no need for discussing the pros and cons of each method.

Centamatic balance rings on each axel. Works very well... Coach drives like a Cadillac.

Spin balance when first installed along with Centamatic balance rings on each axle.

Centramatics--I thought Centramatic recommended NOT to have the wheels static/spin balanced when using the rings?
I have used them w/o any other method on my 450s, no problems. Had them on older Suites, no fitment yet for newer Suites.

The centramatics are simply awesome I couldn’t believe how much smoother ride and less jarring over bumps after installing them.
I also spoke with Jerry at the factory asking about need for need for them on rear and yes they even save your suspension components from wear.

Bead balancing. New to motorhomes, installed new tires and went with beads. So far, the results have been excellent!

Did not have mine spin balanced before using rings and made sure took off all the lead from previous balancing

Based on the research I have done Centramatics appears to be the way to go.
I could not find anything negative about them, but I'm sure there must be something about them that is not as perfect as they seem.
At this point, I'm gonna go with Centramatics on my MH once the winter is over.
