When it comes to cutting tires, just be sure to watch the rim, not the foam, and make sure it spins super true before cutting. I don't own a Hudy arbor, but if I can tell that the rim is spinning out-of-round on the truer I adjust it. It takes me a long time to true tires.
I'd like to hear others thoughts about the topic of wobbly wheels as well. Especially if the truer has been eliminated as a problem.
