    These are what I use. I do my own tire work and intend to shop vacuum them out and re-use, re-use, re-use over and over and over again in the years to come. The cost per bag is comparable (give or take) to having your wheels spun balanced with lead on a computer machine or even balanced while still on the truck. My 11R22.5 tires call for 10 ounces in single wheel application and 12 ounces per tire in dual wheel application. So you might want to refer to this and check for your tire size: http://www.innovativebalancing.com/chart.htm#CommercialChart I've got Goodyear uni-circle G572 recaps on my drive axles with these balance media in them and they ride smooth as silk, wearing perfectly.
