try no balance then use beads as a corrective measure only if needed ?

HEY I like that ? never considered track clean upProbably don't want to sweep up the track of a couple hundred beads when a tire fails.
If the tire has a dot on it that is presumably the light mark. If so, then how do you approach tire mounting if there is no light mark on the tire?Then I mount the tire with the light mark on the new tire over the heavy spot on the wheel.
I tried a bottle of this True GOO. At about 85 the front tire started to shake. Later I got a small hole in the front tire also. Sprayed the Goo all over the bike and my boots. So last time I'll use a liquid sealant for my tires. I had to pull the tire off, clean it up, patch it then reblance the old way. Worked fine
Not all tires have the mark on the lightest point. In this case, you mount the tire and balance it. Or call the manufacturer and ask them if there is supposed to be a 'light mark'.If the tire has a dot on it that is presumably the light mark.

+1 using Ride-On! With tire dismounted, just wipes out easily with a rag. New tire installed, thru valve stem just insert 4oz. in front and rear. Besides, have a tire puncture 200mi. from nowhere, it is INSTANTLY plugged where leaking air! BTW, tire is balanced perfectly at all times.I think we are talking about a specific liquid product "Ride-On". I used it recently front and rear. Popped off my wheel weights. The tires felt unbalanced at first as is expected but shaped up quickly enough. It also has favorable reviews.
For some reason the bike feels smoother at all speeds. I installed it in my old BMW and got the same results. I don't know why.
In that case, I just mount them in the right direction and balance them. Michelins are the only tires I have bought that do not have a mark for the light spot.If the tire has a dot on it that is presumably the light mark.
