On our big trucks we use golf balls. Seems to work fine.

dyna beads are pretty common on motorcycle tires. My ninja was balanced with them. Never noticed any issues.

I have dyna beads in my motor home tires and really like them. I've had them in for 4 years now and o have no vibration at any speed once the tires warm up. I only have minor vibration for a few miles after it's been sitting for a while. The tires that were on it when I bought it were not balanced and they did have some vibration.

I need to put them in my pickup the next time I buy tires.

A friends truck rolling on 44's used them, a lot of them... Worked fine.

I almost forgot that I tried Centramatics on another pickup I owned. It was a Dodge 2500 with 315/70/17s on it and they didn't really make any noticeable change. I do think I had at least one tire that was slightly out of round though so I don't think any kind of balancing would work to smooth them out. I bought H2 takeoffs so I didn't have any way to take them back for warranty.
