I have a slightly out of round passenger steer tire . The tread is still 90% , so I would hate to get rid of it . Can I purchase centramatics to stop the shaking while keeping this tire ?
Out of round steer. Will centramatics cure this shake ?

Nope. An out of round tire is junk there's no fixing it. Centramatics are a waste of money too.

Wow. One guy with a freightliner told me it fixed his shaking and wear

Replace it.
It will shake you and your truck until something comes loose.henboy1 Thanks this. -

Great advice . Thank you all

Centramatics are great at what they do. They eliminate the need for balance weights. They can not change the shape of a tire though.
Bean Jr., bzinger, Rideandrepair and 4 others Thank this. -
I'd keep that tire as a spare. I'd buy Centramatics anyway.
Centramatics is an outstanding product. I've had them for 4 years now.
My drives are over 300K miles (over 3 years) and are perfectly round and still at 6-8/32, so they will last till Winter easy. I replaced my steers a few weeks ago at 215K miles and they were perfectly round except too thin 6/32 - they will work on my trailer. Centramatics will give you more counterbalance weight vs weights they allow to glue to the rim at Love's and Petros - if you need to add more weights than what they allow there then a tire or a rim is a junk anyway.bzinger and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
Take the tire back to where you purchased it, mount it on a tire balancer and tell them to look at it. Have them replace with new or give a refund.
