I cannot say I have tried them all but I've tried a bunch of them. I have
been in the tire business for over 40 years. After radial tires became
popular but before computer balancers were available we tried
everything to give customers a smooth ride.
Several of the oil/ball bearing rings, sand, plastic beads, windshield
washer fluid. Some truckers even put 3 golf balls in their tires. The
thing with all these ring type "balancers" is they are on a single
plane. They do nothing for side to side imbalance.
We tried them with on-the-car strobe and computer balancers. The only
thing that was constant was that the imbalance would move every time
you stopped the tire.
Spend your money how you please but I won't use them if they are free.
