Mounting Tyres

[Grant Lenahan]

Yea, sorta. better machines however deal with wobble too, and proscribe weights independently at the inner and outer edge, based on the width you enter.  You should not mess with those locations - or you may ind yourself in a loop of corrections. At minimum, you will have more weight right where you dont want it. Better to get it right the first time.

If it interferes with the caliper at point a, it will also interfere at point b, unless point b is moved inwards whcih messes up the calculation.

This will usually leave the inconvenient spot free of weights.  It takes a little extra time, an extra weight, and a machine operator who is willing to take a bit longer to do the job.
