I work where I have access to equal to balance tires. I just picked up some new wheels and 35x1150r20 tires. I would like to use equal as it won't cost me anything and our machine won't balance my tires due to run mount. I have access to 6oz and 10oz bags. Anyone know how much I should use?

I installed the equal anyway as I had access to it. Honestly it did an ok job. At lower speeds it is noticeable, although barely. At higher speeds I can feel a very slight shimmy. I put 6oz in each tire.. not sure if a little more would help or not but I am going to try. Overall I barely notice a difference unless I'm thinking about it. So if I had same free option I would balance with weights..but for free this works for me.

Do you know if this method works with TPMS installed?
