Default how much weight did it take to balance your 35s

got my 315-75-16 fierce attitudes mounted on baja 8 wheels and let the tire guy talk me into dynabeads , i had read mixed reviews but thought it would be cool to not have lead hanging on my new wheels so i went for it . the ride was silky smooth til
about 50 mph and then just a lil vibration , not unbearable but not to my liking . plus i considered the steering stab was probably hiding the worst of it so took it back for conventional balancing . after a few quick searches online i decided to leave the beads in and have a regular dynamic balance done with them in place . understand , that because of how they work the spin balancer would not register as it being balanced with the beads alone . long story short all tires took 8 to 10 ounces which is well within industry specs of up to 2 percent of tire weight . still i was disappointed , i hate feeakin weights esp that much . good news it drives like a dream again but just wondering how much weight it took for your 35s to balance out ? i also feel it is more from the wheels instead of the tires . does show that those beads work to a point also oh and my attitudes measure
at 34 inches with 35 psi

I have the Fierce 35's and all of them but one balanced pretty easy with little weight, they used the weights that tape inside the wheel so you don't have a weight hanging off of the lip. The one wheel that took extra weights took several ounces but it rides fine until about 80-85 mph where there's a little vibration that starts to be noticeable, I'm not too worried about it because I rarely drive that fast and it's a Jeep with 35 inch mud tires, it's not going to ride like my Vette at that speed.

have 315/70/17 hankook dynapros. took around 8-10 oz of weight to balance traditionaly, and so far i'm at 12oz of dynabeads and they still vibrate above 70km/h (+/- 45mp/h). gonna add another 4oz this week and see. seriously starting to regret going to beads.

I'm running the Raceline Monster beadlocks with 35x12.5x17 BFG KM2's. I had them traditionally balanced and 2 of them took 5-6 oz of weight, 2 took .5-1.5 oz, and 1 took 2 oz. So they were all over the chart. They used the stick on weights behind the wheel so there are no weights hanging on the rim. That being said I've got no vibs at 85mph. I rarely ever go that fast though.
