Default Wheel Centering or Balancing

HI all,
Have a 2005 Crescendo and am going to have all 6 tires replaced next week and wanted to look at wheel centering versus wheel balancing. Not sure if this is the right place for this post, but it seems to be a catch-all for all types of info.

Have done some reading about wheel centering using spacers on the studs and also have read about things you put in the tires an also things you put on the rims.

Anybody have any words of wisdom either way or past experience powders such as equal.

Any information would be appreciated

Curt

I know a couple of guys that swear by Equal, but after reading the manufacturer's claims it seems like snake oil to me.

Curt, I used the powder in my old Pace worked well but a front alignment is always the way to go, Then after that you can decide witch method of balance is good for you, I think it's a matter of personal choice good luck!
