A quick wheel question

I have my #2 Wheels mounted with fresh tires. However I am short one pair of rotors. My plan was to swap the rotors over between race days. My question is if the rim and tire are balanced already.(without rotors) and then I bolt the rotors on will the wheel need to be balanced again or should I be ok

Thanks

It's racing, not long distance riding. Balance isn't THAT important for a tire that will last you a weekend.

You will be all set.

Rubber is a beast, therefore just produce it and we will balance it after.

Steel is stable, little to no inconsistancies.

Two laps around the track and the rubber on your tire is probably throwing the balance off more than anything. I don't balance race or street tires at all and never have an issue. they balance them for me when they're mounted at the track but I still consider it a waste of time.
