Changed the wheels

This is a technique I adopted when I was doing very long rides and knew that I might have to buy new tires and install them myself, or take off a tire to patch it and not have access to a balancer in either case...since most of the off balance comes from the rim/TPMS.

Love this approach - first balance the rim with TPMS only, and no tire, then with the tire - and for the reason you gave. One can only do this if mounting and balancing your own tires, as I am sure no dealership would do this. Thanks Brad.
