    I watched it on the balancer and you could definitely see the bent portion but the wheel is balanced out ... we will have to wait and she until I put them on.

    I love my PA2s. Enjoy them and I'm going to put a +1 about waiting to worry about the bent rim.

    ^ I think it will be fine I mean it balanced out really nice, .5 oz tape weight on the inside and .25 oz on the outside pound on. I'm excited for winter now!!

    I just picked up a set of these this weekend as well... I am pumped. I have never had "winter" tires, just all seasons.

    ++.

    I had a seriously bent steel wheel, almost an inch of side to side movement on the balancer, they mounted it on the back (with a lot of weights to get it balanced.) and I couldn't tell. I have since replaced it so I didn't wear the tire out so fast.
