My first plan of action for the new coach is new tires. It already has Alcoas. Should I replace the valve stems when I get tires? If so, which stems will I need?

I have read a bit about the balance beads and air soft pellets some have used. It sounds like the pellets work but maybe not until you get up to speed. I have also read some posts where they did not work and had to be removed. Should I have the tires spin balanced or use the beads/pellets? The wheels currently have the lead weights crimped onto the rim so they may already have damage from the dissimilar metals.

Thanks,
