Hi John, I use RV anti-freeze as it's a propylenegycol water mix, freeze protection to minus 40. Won't attack rubber componds. Regular anit-freeze is elethylenegycol which will attack some rubber compounds. I just mounted my new Cooper SRM on my F350 dually and used 8oz of the RV anti-freeze in each tire. Works just fine as a tire balance. I ran the truck upto 85mph for a couple minutes without any tire balance problem. I've got about 3000 miles on this method and so far no problems. The liquid balance works by centrifical force. The fluid will distribute it's self around the tire in the low points of the tire thus a complete balance is obtained. I don't see a problem with the golf balls other than they might be noisy at slower speeds. I would also wonder if they act as a grinding compound until balance speed is reached? I don't know as I've never seen a tire that used golf balls. T_Bone
