Max Weight used to Balance Tires
If you are buying new LT tires, no matter the brand, what would be the Max amount of weight to balance would you accept before you would say give me a different tire?

Last time I bought new tires the left front had 4 weights hanging on it
The other 3 had 1 or 1/2 weights to balance
I told the manger ---remove that tire from my truck
Rotate the tire on the rim and re-balance ---I am NOT leaving here with that much weight hanging on a new tire,
And it rotating the tire on the rim doesn't do it....get another tire
After rotating the tire 180* it took 1 weight to balance
I'm a fussy consumer!
Industry Standards allows for 1% of total weight to balance which can be up to 3.75 oz (15...1/4 oz weights)
