Reinventing the wheel weight

Maybe not the "wheel weights", but the EQUAL that you put in the tyre I definately would. (same web page)

I used to use a product that uses the same idea on my motorbike, and the effect was amazing. The product (I forget its name) would settle overnight, and you could feel it 'balancing' the wheel in the first couple of hundred yards (roughly a metre young ones :D ). The tyres seemed to last longer (but the way I rode tore the shit out of them anyway. Not much different in cars these days!) The stuff I used to use also sealed punctures.

If anyone knows of a similar product, I would like to know.....
 
These ones are $25 for each weight and available through Bridgestone.

Well in theory, it does make sense. The balls would move to where the tyre needs it most through centrifugal force, I'm sure it would benifit race cars, or cars that stay at high speeds for long periods time, But is it really worth it for an average car.
