I think it is worth every penny not to be shaken in a vehicle that normally rides smooth. Load range E 16" tires can have some good size imbalances. And when applied by 8 times(daul tandems), this can lead to some annoying shaking. I have placed RV antifreeze in all my trailer tires and have enjoyed smooth riding ever since. My rule is 1.5 qts for 15" tires and 2qts for 16" tires. Or you can find a shop to spin balance(the best way) for about $5 a tire. The RV antifreeze should be run straight. Doug in Tx
