Lippert/ Mor Ryde IS

[Firerad1]

I didn't realize Heartland didn't balance them. I don't know that Mor Ryde balance them either, although they did align them. Sounds like I have another stop to make before I get to Texas.

We asked Mor/Ryde to balance the tires and they took them off someplace and had them balanced.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm pointed south now and I hear southern Texas calling my name. I'll find a shop along my way and have it done.
Thanks,

Equal or Dynabeads. You can do it yourself.

We have a friend who used the Equal in his tires, ended up with slow leaks. The Equal got into the valve stem. Don't know how the Dynabeads work.

I'll stay with lead weights, I don't want to chance screwing up my TTPMS sensors.

Then they were not installed properly - or that is not what happened.

Both systems come with different valve stems that eliminate that issue.
And it doesn't make sense. With the proper valve stem caps (metal & gasket) no air would not get past the cap.

6500 miles on mine so far with no issues. Leaks or TPMS sensors.

I have about the same number of miles on mine as Duane and have had no problems either.

We don't have any problems with the Dynabeads.

I've had Equal in my G614's for almost 4 years. I understand they installed "special" valve cores at the same time. I don't know what the difference is though. Every now and then when removing a TST sensor the valve will stick. I just pop it with a tool to clear it out. I really can't tell how well the Equal works but my tires are wearing very well. No issues at all.

Ray, the stems have the equivalent of a filter/screen on the inside to keep the product out of the stem.

That makes sense. I sort of figured it would be something like that. Thanks.

Regarding our friend who had problems. This happened 7 years ago and he never mentioned any special stems being put on. Once he got rid of the Equal the problem went away. Maybe suppling is relatively new to resolve this issue.
