Who is running 35s on 16 or 17 wheel with no balance issues?

ProComp 1089s with Cepek Mud Countrys (35/12.5/17). I had the shop do a static balance and they did get them balanced. They said it was a b.... but they did get them done. I've had it up to 70 with no vibration.

In the summer months, I run a set of 35X12.5R17 Toyo Open Country MT's on the stock Rubicon 17" wheels.
In the winter months, I run a set of 315/70R17 Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs on the stock Rubicon 17" wheels.
On both, I had the shop that sold me the tires balance them, and I will usually have the re-balanced when I rotate the tires. I don't think that it's truly necessary, but it's a good idea. The only issues that I have noticed is "flat spots" on very cold mornings, and an occasional front end vibe at exactly 50 MPH (I honestly think that's a driveshaft issue, as I've had that same very minor vibe with three different sets of tires)
Both sets run just fine with plain old wheel weights, and not an excessive amount of them. No fancy balancers, pixie dust, or voodoo required
