Ok......so the S03 arrived today and tomorrow will be the installtion day. There are 3 shops that I have to visit:

In the morning: I will goto a local shop to bleed the brakes, put in Motul 600 and the new Porterfield R4-s pads.

during noon: take a 1 hour trip to a rim repair and repair one or two of my bent rims.

afternoon: Goto a tire shop and align the new wheels and tires.

Is there anything wrong in the picture? Should I have the tires mounted at the rim repair place or the tire shop? And what is a good place to align tires and what are the specs of alignments for ITR?

 

Just don't drive the tires hard until at least a few hours have past and the lubricant they use to get them on the rim is all dried up, or they can rotate on the rim and you'll go out of balance.

 

A rim repair place and a tire shop should both be equally qualified to mount and balance tires.

For alignment, go to a shop that has the latest Hunter alignment equipment, like their Series 611 computerized alignment system. The rim repair place and the tire shop might have it, but they might not.

Thanks, I'll make some phone call tomorrow to make sure they have good alignment machines. The rim repair place is a mom and pop shop, but it was recommended by local SoloII guys. My car shakes badly at 60-80mph with bent rim+unaligned RE010. And tomorrow will be a wet day as well, so I am unsure of whether not to make the trip back and forth with the old tires.

What is the definition of hard? Like launching it?
Can I maintain 60-70mph on highway for 1 hour immediately after the install?
