automatic tire balancing ?

[veedublu at prod.net (John Van Vuren)]

The Equal cost me $20 a tire....    yours will be cheaper as you won't need
nearly as much (I used 10oz per tire, you will need approx 3oz).   The valve
stems are included.

http://www.expeditionexchange.com/equal/   - that is a pretty good place to
get it.  I got mine at the local truck tire place.
