    That has nothing to with the actual balance on the machine. It just translates to the truck after you bolt them on.

    Imperfection in the wheel castings, lateral runout in tires, heavy spots, etc. Every wheel is different. I have almost 2 pounds per wheel on my XD's and BFG and sometimes I mount 19.5's or 37 inch Toyo's that only need like .25 oz. But as long as it rides smooth then it shouldn't be a problem.

    I know man, it pisses me off everyday when I see a set of 37x13.50x22's only needing a few ounces, lol.

    Wow that's alot of weight. I thought mine took alot of weight. My front 2 took about 2.25oz total on each. my rears took 4oz on one and about 6.5oz on the other. I was thinking of breaking the bead on both rears and spinning the tire on the rim to see if that helps even it out. Percs of working at a shop :)

    That's because 90% of tire guys do not know how to balance a tire. Most of them are worthless. All they do is take your money and move the shake from 60mph to 70mph and put about 5lbs of weight on the tire. I mean just looking at all the weight you know he did it wrong but don't even think about talking to him about it, if you do expect an attitude and basically talked to like you are stupid. Very hard to find a tire dealer that has a clue. When you do put him on your christmas list.
