So I had the dealer rotate and balance the tires for the first time (by a dealer). I have two fractures in the left ankle and decided this was a good time to get a balance completed. 04/18.5K

All four wheels still have the original weight strips. My question is are these automatically removed, the weights, and then replaced after the wheel is spun?

Would they spin the wheel and if it was balanced leave the strips in place?

I have no reason to question this dealer, they have been great. Just curious, I was expecting new wheel weights because if it's the tab style on the outside of the rim I believe they remove it, spin the wheel and put a new one on.

Thanks.
