    I currently run beads, I prefer the centramatics. I notice the low speed vibration a little more with the beads, but I mainly do Highway driving.I tried centramatics on a set of tires multiple shops tried to balance and the centramatics smoothed it right out, should of kept them when I sold that truck.

    I used beads all the way around and regularly got 220,000 out of steers and 300+ on drives. Had the shop balance whenever I bought tires, but just to make sure the tire wasn't to screwed up from the factory. tried to avoid tires that took more than 10 ounces to balance.
