TIRE BALANCERS Liquid mercury positioning Balance Masters��� Self-Adjusting Wheel Balancers use liquid mercury placed in counterweight positions through centrifugal force, eliminating the lumping effects caused by shot-filled, hub-mounted and tire fluid products, the company says. The balancers also help provide better control in cold, icy and wet conditions. The company claims a 50 percent or higher boost in tire life. The system mounts directly behind the wheel assembly and has a 100-day money-back guarantee with proof of purchase, as well as a 10-year factory warranty. balancemasters.com, 800-786-8324.

The compound is forced across the tread width and around the circumference of the tire. It repositions as the load and speed change to absorb vibration at all points around the tire���s circumference, the company says. It also applies a downward force to keep the footprint even and balances continuously for the tire���s life, never needing to be adjusted or reinstalled. imiproducts.com, 800-233-7086.
