I've run the Centramatic balancers on my 4x4 for over 10 years now, they work well:

Have not had a tire professionally balanced in that time, I mount my own tires and them just do a static bubble balance and that gets them close enough for the balancers to take over.

Have also put the Dynabeads in my 35" off-road tires, but have not put many miles on those yet. With the Centramatics (on 15" wheels), there is a lot of tire beyond the balancing ring, so figure adding about 6 oz. of Dynabeads will help make up for that.

But I think Centramatic only makes the rings for 15" and larger wheels and even then there are fitment issues to worry about. I may try the Dynabeads on my next set of VW tires, but the last set (13") was mounted/balanced when I bought them, so they are fine.
