I expect that the wheel manufacturer would be the one that would know. The only
way I would think you could find out is to try to spin them up on a balance machine
without the tires and without the sensors. See how out of balance they
are, then insert the sensor and try again. Bottom line is that they
have to be balanced no matter what, "so just git 'er done"!
