I have mine mounted on XD Addicts each wheel required at least 8oz of stick on weights from Tire Rack. They still don't feel like they are even close to be balanced. When I find a shop to do my alignment I plan to have them check balancing also.

I usually toss tires after they go half tread so I don't know if I'm much help. First set 20K, half tread. Second set did a little better with the jeep being traded in with about 80% tread left after 15K.

That's the one downfall with forums, the one bad side of a product, no matter how small the population, shines the brightest.
If someone wants them, get them, take your time balancing, and enjoy, you won't regret.

I had to send back one of my 37's for non balance. It takes time to get it right on the rim so it can balance out good and it helps to have someone who knows how to balance large tires.
