weights on tires
I just replaced my original tires with the same brand and size tires( Michelin 265/70r18). I now have a slight shake when I drive above 60 mpg which I never had before. My question is how much weight ...

That is too much weight if it was balanced correctly...and please folks, alignments have nothing to do with balance and or vibration issues. So if next time you have a vibration and someone gives you the "it could be the alignment" thing give them a nod and move on.
It depends on the tire. I've had hundreds of different tires that needed quite a bit of weight to balance. It really depends on the manufacturer, intended purpose, size and tire construction. There's no rule of thumb for what's "too much". Just depends on the situation. A properly balanced tire is just that, properly balanced using whatever weight necessary.
If it's a high end tire, I'd guess a flawed tire or bad balance job. I'd start with the bad balance and go from there.
