Should You Double Check the Balance After Dealer Tire Installation?

Darrell - balancing the rim without the tire is an excellent suggestion and I will do that the next time I get the tire off the rim. The fact that we have a nice heavy TPMS sensor means that it is naturally unbalanced, and I like the idea of permanent weights on the inside of the rim just to even that starting imbalance out.

Agreed on the evenness of the modern tire meaning that there are probably no heavy spots any more. The Dunlop RS III I had installed had no dot to indicate the light spot, despite what their website says.
