...and then balance again?
I think he means put just the wheel on a balancer, find the heavy spot (usually where the valve stem is but not always) , mount your tire with the dot at this heavy spot then balance with weights. Putting the dot(or whatever) at the valve stem assumes that it is the heaviest spot on the rim which it may be but is not always the case. This procedure may reduce the amount of weight required to balance the wheel with tire mounted.
Got it, so not actually "Balance the wheel, before mounting a tire." but rather just find out where the heavy spot on the wheel is.... then balance.
Ok, makes more sense, thanks!
