Have a new Avon Venom rear mounted. Was checking the static balance after being machine balanced and before mounting. With the axle through the wheel and resting on jack stands I can see some visible run out on the outer edge of the tire where the tread meets the side wall.
Bead appears seated evenly all the way around, there is small amounts of rubber flash that is between the bead and the tire. I din't remove the flash and neither did the tire installer (Avon should have actually) but the flash material is really thin and doesn't equal what I'm seeing for runout. Seems to be in one spot.
Is some runout normal on a new tire? On edit: Well according to Avon here http://www.avonmoto.com/download/Tires101.pdf
> 1mm lateral,radial run = out of round
Thanks
