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?

    I am about to buy new shoes for my DW, and I looked at one of my old ones still on there and saw the amount of weight they put when I last rotated the tires and I was shocked. So, it made me wonder about new tires. Old ones may have worn poorly to explain it, but if I saw that on new tires I would wonder why its not round
