Should You Double Check the Balance After Dealer Tire Installation?

When you tackle the tire change again, heat the tire first to see if that helps.

Lee makes an excellent suggestion. I probably changed 300 - 400 tires when I had my NoMar changer mostly for friends in the local area and many BMW club members as well as my own. I encouraged everyone to stop by on a sunny day. We’d put the tires in a black plastic garbage bag and leave out in the sun on the driveway while we removed the old tires, cleaned the rims and then balanced those. Most had their tires shipped to me so I had this part done when they arrived. In many cases we could walk the warm tires on the rims with our boots without using the tire mounting equipment. In that Texas summer sun they may just fall over the rim if you get them close by.
