Makes sense. Thanks.

Yep, pull the valvestem and make sure all the air is out. Also pull any hammer on weights off.

I have no experience with balance beads, but I often notice a lot of water vapor in my tires when I air down; probably from using a small 12V compressor to fill coming off the rail. Do y'all think that the moisture would affect the beads? As in sticking together or someplace other than the light side?

I laugh, only because I know firsthand what will happen if you don't.
Let's just say, watch your ears.

Really appreciate that. Really. I would have let the air out with my valves and let her rip.

From what I’ve read moisture is a problem when people cheat and use airsoft pellets. But I’m past that. I’m going to try to get them balanced with weights. Shop to shop I guess.

Thanks. All of them on the existing wheels are stick on thankfully.

Mine isn’t that nice, but I do have a valve stem tool. I have five new tpms sensors for the new wheels.

Mine isn’t that nice either. Of course mine is a set of large angled needle nose. I’ve been eyeing one of these for a while though.
