[QUOTE="jammess, post: 1356719, member: 89387"] You remove the old tire then put just the wheel on the balancer and find the heavy spot, use masking tape and attach a weight to the wheel opposite the heavy spot. In other words balance just the wheel. Then mount the tire but don't seat the bead. Place the wheel with tire on balancer and mark the heavy spot on the tire then simply slid the tire around the wheel so that the heavy spot on the tire is adjacent to the light spot on the wheel, seat the bead and balance the wheel/tire assembly. Theoretically by doing this procedure you will use less weights when you balance the wheel/tire combo. Oh, when you balance just the wheel take a felt tip and mark the wheel light spot inside the wheel for future reference so you don't have to repeat the wheel by itself balance part of the procedure. Also, make note of the weights needed to balance just the wheel. [/QUOTE]
