Over $180 for a front and rear kit.  I'm thinking I'd rather spend that coin on one of those intake manifold air vorticular interbulators (i.e., it smells like yet another product whose primary gain is to remove money from wallet).

I agree, seems like they should be selling them at a county fair.

 :2vrolijk_21:   Reminds me of the Dyna Beads self balancing magic, except this version is a lot less messy.  Don't have to dump all those beads into the valve stem (and hope they don't clog it up), and then retrieve the little buggers when it's time to change the tires.  Of course, the rich guys just throw them away and buy new ones each time. ;)

Can someone 'splain to me how I've somehow managed to avoid all those tire balance horror stories over the past 40 years with just standard old wheel weights?  After all the hoopla over Dyna Beads, and now this whiz bang product, I'm starting to think I've been missing something.  Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.  Nope, can't remember having any balance issues.  Guess I'll save the $275 (2 fronts, 1 rear).
