Take them to a friendly tire shop and have them mounted on the dynamic
(spin) balancer. It will tell you real quick of they are out.
Alternaivly, mount them on a front wheel. Mount a dial indicator so it
contacts the bead seat of the wheel. Turn slowley and watch for run out.
Remount the indicator to measure the rim edge. Check for run out. In
either case, run out should be less than .010"

No, you can do a much neater job with masking tape.
