The video showing those balancing disks doing the job is pretty cool, isn't it?
And I considered them years ago but finally decided that 'Beads in a bag' would be the low cost solution. After all, I rarely 'Off Road' in my RV, which is probably the only way the wheels/tires would get so unbalanced as to need those disks. The bags of beads basically do the same thing as those disks.

Check out website for "Balance Masters". check out the video.
I did a bit of research and talked to the president of the company. and felt the most comfortable with the Balance Masters.
He said to just put them on the steers and the tags . Not the drivers as hey have a different torque contact with the road and are not as effective or necessary on the drivers
I have been very satisfied with the performance and they come with a Lifetime Guarantee.

I have them on both axles and the difference in ride quality is significant. Spoke to the factory before i bought them and they said they also keep suspension components from wearing out even on drive axle and I believe it.
The only downside is it makes it difficult to access to the TPMS sensor on the inner duals.

I have them on all axles including tag. No obstruction to air valves on inner duals for me. They just do their job, and they never wear out. Didn’t want beads since any moisture added to the tires when adding air could result in the beads clumping together.....with the centramatics I don’t have to worry about that.
I installed them on our class c after finding out the front tires were never balanced. The tires were out of round and had a noticeable wobble. The balances made a big difference in what came through to the steering wheel. Liked them enough that I installed them on the rears. Safe travels
Enjoy the journey
