[Shotimes] Shimmy

[Dave Kegel]

I think the other reason why this happens so much is that perhaps freshly
mounted tires move slightly on the rim the first time they are driven.  This
would explain why they're often out of balance the first time they're done,
but the second time they come out OK.

Just a theory I've had.
