I just removed my winter wheelset, which was new (tires) this season (purchased from Tire Rack)

I discovered that when the wheels were balanced, the old weights were not removed and they were just balanced and weights were added on the other side of the wheel.

Shouldn't the weights have been stripped off when mounting a new set of tires 20 out the balance?

If so, Gary, could you possibly help me with one of your recommended installers. I had the tires sent straight to them from Tire Rack

The old wheel weights should always be completely removed before being rebalanced. Typically we would take the old weights off, clean the adhesive off, then proceed to balance.
