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 ...

Tell them you insist on seeing the tire while it's being spun even if they only will turn it at low RPMs as an out of round tire or left to right type non-straight tracking tread is something you can't hide or fix, only replace!
I had a set of Yokohama tires that caused vibration at higher speeds. The tire shop had me come back and watch as they rotated the tire on the balance machine. They adjusted the Yokohamas for a set of Michelins.
Out of round can be seen if the tire is bouncing. Bad run out can be seen if the tread is wobbling.
As I have said before, you can balance a square tire, but it never will run smooth.
