either way is fine. Your concern should be with the person doing the balancing. The wheel should have its heavy point marked then the tire dot lined up with that. Then balanced. However if an excessive amount of weight is needed, a type A person will break the beads and rotate the tire carcass on the wheel to dial in a proper balance using little to no weights. Taking it a step further, a different tire might be in order. Okay. I don’t think so. Money is not made by being type A. You get what you get. Ride it and if you ‘feel it’ bring it back. Me? I static balance using Marc Parnes’ balancer and strip weights. And no, I don’t rotate the carcass for a heavy balance. Call me a lazy type A. Or too cheap to buy a No-Mar Classic tire changer.
