That might be the case if the wheel and tire are reasonably balanced, which they aren't always. My spare rear wheel is very imbalanced and requires lots of weights to get it right, the last time being >4 oz. total. I had to split them up including inside and outside to get a really good balance, which took quite a bit of time. If you didn't balance this wheel I think you'd have noticeable shake, but most aren't that far off.

 

Changed mine the other day. I have a tire machine but no balancer. So it didnt get balanced. It had no weight on the rim with the stock tire anyways.

 

A simple accurate way to static balance the wheels is like an earlier post said. You can use two milk crates or any two objects that will be high enough to keep the axle with the wheel on it supported off the ground (level ground) then slowly spin the wheel & let it come to a stop on its own. If it stops at the same spot everytime you spin it then that is where the heavy unbalanced part of the tire is. You then need to attach a 1/4 oz stick on weight to the completely opposite side of the wheel 180 degrees away. It will take some time til you figure out how much wgt it needs. I temporarily attach the wgts with masking tape until I know how much the tire needs. Then I apply them permanently. When the wheel stops at a different point every time then it is balanced. i have done this for years with good results.

 

Dyna beads front and rear,The thought of weights on custom wheels doesn't sit good.

 

tell you what, the trusty on tire irons won't work anymore with the tubleless tires; not worth the effort! pay the guy at the shop...

 

Why won't they work? They work at my garage. The guy at shop down the street does it the same way I do....matter of fact, he is the one that taught me to change my own tires years ago.

 

Swap my tires over in the garage and take it to the tire shop for balancing, $10 and it's a dun deal.

 

My irons still work just fine. As a matter of fact even easier on a tubeless, as ya ain't gotta worry about pinching the tube.
Nuttin like havin to patch a brand new tube, to help perfect the technique.

 

Well. I finally got around to changing my rear tire... Put the 160 E3 on, everything went smooth, lined up the balance mark with the stem, pulled the old weights off, and smooth as glass....thanks all for the response!!

 

Good for you. Several folks do that and if they get one that wobbles, just pull it and take it in for balancing.
