I tried this - I removed my front wheel, deflated the tire, broke the bead, wiped the whole thing down with soapy water (doing my best to lube up the tire all the way to the edge that would be in the wheel). Aired it back up and that didn't seem to help. However, when spinning the wheel, I used the pointed truing rod that came with the stand and it appears that the wheel is not true (I am now assuming this is what was causing my tire to move laterally while it was spinning).

Any idea if this could be my issue? It's not off by a lot but it is off. I need to get my hands on a spoke wrench I guess?
