You didn’t say what kind of rims/tires you’re using, but I’ve found Jan Heine’s advice about rims without adequate interior “support” to be helpful. I have Grand Bois Hetres on Velocity rims (Dyad and Synergy), and on both it helped to put to layers of rim tape inside. The tires mount straighter and run truer with the additional layer inside.
