I've been using stick on weights for 20+ years, probably a total of over 500K miles on many vehicles. I've never had a stick on weight come off. It's the only weight I will let a shop put on a wheel.

You must have a different set of Centramatics than I have seen. Mine are thin sheet metal, 1/16" perhaps. I don't think your wheel bearings will notice.

The balance beads work in my motorcycle. Just make sure you follow the instructions for how much to put in the size tires you have.
Also, some installers don't like spilling little ceramic beads on the floor of the garage so they just throw the whole bag in. Thinking the bag will break. And it will eventually. But until it does your tire will be very out of balance. Make sure the bags are opened and emptied into the tire or installed through the valve stem.

I have Centramatics on all four corners of my truck. The difference of smoothness in the ride is noticeable and worth it to me. I never considered putting them on the trailer. I would think your air pin box is dissipating enough trailer energy that you wouldn't notice trailer tires' balance improvements in the cab of your truck. My trailer bearings are sensitive to wheel offset which the Centramatics increase so I wouldn't use them. Might try the beads for thirty bucks though.

Trust issues, lol. Probably the only guy requesting hammer on weights on his nice wheels.

I am not thinking the minimal thickness would be an issue.

Since standard RV wheels are LUG CENTERED and not hub centered I would have to question these... Ive been towing trailers and fifth wheels for over 45 years and have never balanced a tire on the RV

If you have the bucks then go for it... Ceramic beads would be much better than these .. and I have been using those on my motorcycle tires for decades...
