CHAMBERSBURG, Pa. — IMI Inc. has introduced its Equal Flexx V tire balancing package for use in many tire sizes in the recreactional vehicle (RV) and camper segment.
Equal Flexx V offers the same safe and comfortable ride for RV and camper owners that IMI's Flexx does for heavy-duty trucks but is easier to install and compatible with a wide range of vehicles, IMI said.
"We found a demand in the market for a 14-ounce bag size of Equal Flexx, making it more convenient for tire dealers and end-users to install Equal Flexx with one bag instead of combining different bag sizes. While researching the need for this size bag, we also found that it would be especially beneficial in all wheel positions for RVs and campers," IMI President and CEO Bob Fogal said.
Most RV and camper owners will need to work with a qualified tire dealership to have the Flexx V installed during a tire demount/remount process, IMI said.
IMI said its balancing formula uses adaptive technology to reduce vibrations that can lead to ride discomfort and irregular tire wear.
IMI's Flexx is a granular "balancing compund" that rests inside the tire and provides balancing as the tire rolls for the life of the tire. Using Flexx means there's no need for wheel weights and/or dynamic balancing, which translates into monetary savings, IMI claims.
Founded in 1973, Chambersburg-based IMI develops tire balancing products for the commercial tire and trucking industries.
