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 ...

Took the truck back to the tire shop. They tried to rebalance and then took all the external weights off and used something call balancing beads. Never heard of this but I hope it works.
That's like the airsoft beads idea. It's more common in the offroad world due to tire sizes and such.
It's the same concept as the small sandbags in big rig tires. In fact I've got bags in all four of my rear tires.
Good luck with it and post up the results.
edit: It's the same concept as this: http://www.anythingtruck.com/category/htp-wheelbalancers.html
