I never herd of them. Basically it is crushed glass almost like sand. It centrifuges out and balances it's self as you drive. It does stick to the inside to some degree, but some of it free floats around and adjusts it's self as needed. I can honestly say this truck has never been so smooth. I couldn't believe the difference. They added 4 ounces to each tire, then they do not spin balance it at all. I would have thought this would never work, but it does. You can add the produce yourself. Thru the valve stem if you remove the valve. Then wheel weights will never be needed again. Best of luck.
This could be a good idea......... but what if your tires need more than 4 OZ to balance, how you going to know? Or does this method work on a different principle?
