Randy,
Ken is correct, I have Counteract in my Kuhmo tires and it works great.
HOWEVER, if you have Alcoa wheels the filtered valve cores may not fit in
the valve stems! DON'T try to force them!

Randy,
Don't worry about balancing -- just put Counteract, Equal, or one of the
other balancing beads/powders in them. It's worked great for me for the
past 30-40,000 miles. Without truing.
I personally prefer 4 oz of Counteract for my 225-75/16's. Each 4 oz
package contains a special valve core and a flimsy bag of beads. Just drop
the flimsy bag in the tire as it's being mounted; it will quickly burst and
allow the beads to dynamically seek the light spots, balancing the tire.
