Default Toyo Open Country AT2 balance.

I had a set of 285/75-16 toyos installed and have about 300 miles on them and I like them a lot but I noticed that one of the tires took 10 ounces to balance. Toyo says that is ok and most standards say that up to 1% of total tire/wheel weight is acceptable. holy crap that is insance my combo is 82lbs give or take a few ounces so 13 ounces is ok. crap. 1 tire had no weights, 2 minimal, and another had 6 or 7 ounces I can remember off the top of my head. It rides smooth and I don't feel any vibration but the tire with all the weight is on the rear right. did I mention crap....

Hey J,

If you can, have the tech rotate the tire 180 degrees on the wheel.
