    I had been looking at them as well, have you gotten a noticeable difference in tire wear, and the ride?

    Thanks.

    I put a set of Centramatic balancers on the B a few months ago and have about 8,000 miles with them.
    I did notice an immediate difference in the ride... the freeways I travel a lot smoothed out... seams and joints got smoother. It feels to me as though the wheels and tires don't hop (dance, bounce, skip ??) as much as previously with the stick on weights only. I suspect they produce a result very similar to the beads... which I've never used.
    Yes, they're spendy... but there's zero issue when changing tires. I don't have anything to say about tire longevity at this point... I usually get 20k from a set of Bridgestones.
    Overall, I'm happy with em.

    I have them on my Wing and would buy them again. I pick up my B today (new to me 2015) and will order a set for it.

    Thread hijack:
    I'm very interested in your Wing vs. F6B comparison notes after your first B ride.
    Please let us know in a separate thread!
    End hijack. Back to our regularly scheduled programming....
