Centermatics Well Worth The Money,

I have had them almost a year and they are incredible.

When I drive on the HWY she just runs smooth and straight.

Compared to my Pals E150 Gasser, his is all over the road.
Pulls to not one but both sides when it wants to.

I told him about the centermatics but he thinks they won't help.

Actually, I've had them on for a while now, and I'm not sold on them either. Frankly, I don't think they do a d*mn thing... but I'm leaving them on to see if they provide some long-term, but otherwise undetectable benefit (you know, like a vitamin pill).

I put them on back when I still had my old tires (and the death-wobble/tire balancing issues) and it made very little difference then. What made the biggest difference was getting NEW tires...

hey matt,if anything you should notice tires wearing more even and they should last longer and not chop.

Yep - that's what I'm hoping for. Time will tell I guess...

I have them on my van and the wife's Superduty. They work great! They will not help much for bad tires though. They are made to ballance the front end under normal conditions.

It is best to install them for the first time with NEW tires.

So, more are using them only for the front steer wheels?

I installed mine when the tires were new, Michelin MTS I think they are, the rated tires.
They are wearing very nice, very even across the board. I don't take crazy corners, very much,

There is really no need to ballance rear tires on vehicles. The front's will get wobble and such from all the moveable perts. Rears don't go anywhere.
