CHAMBERSBURG, PA – Tire balancing options for the trucking industry have expanded with two new offerings from International Marketing, Inc. (IMI). The company is putting a self-adjusting, dynamic balancing concept to use outside the tire with the launch of XACTBalance 180s and XACTBalance Truck.

The products, which provide an alternative to standard fixed weights to deliver a smoother ride, are the result of years of research and feedback from drivers, maintenance managers, and shop owners.

For customers that spin balance their wheels, XACTBalance Truck wheel weights deliver superior performance over regular weights. And for those who don’t use a spin balancer, XACTBalance 180s use the same self-adjusting balance technology and lasts the entire life of the wheel. Though they vary in size and capability, both new products consist of free-moving steel particles housed within a flexible thermoplastic cartridge, which is fixed to the wheel with an adhesive backing. The particles inside the cartridge move and adjust to changing conditions as the tire rotates, targeting the exact location of the imbalance and correcting it. The result is less vibration and a more precise, longer-lasting balance.
