Default Help with dynabeads

OK just got my new 35x12.5x15 pitbull rocker radials put on yesterday. Had clearance issues with the stick on weights so decided to try out dynabeads. I seen dynabead chart recommends 8 oz for my size tires. Went to loocal tire shop that Carey's dynabeads. He has 6.5 and 10 oz bags. I told him I wanted the 10 and he says his charts show I only need the 6.5 oz. He wouldn't even look at chart I had on phone. So the 6.5 bags go in. Seemed all good till I got on interstate today. Can't go over 60 MPH. So my question is will the extra oz of beads I wanted in first place fix the problem? If so Is it worth going back to shop and argue that he needs to break tires down for free and add more beads? Thanks guys

This is what I thought but do you think its worth arguing with the shop to fix it for free and add the extra 1.5 oz to equal 8

OK guys thanks for input. Go down tomorrow and try and argue with shop. My tires are known for being hard to balance should I put a little more than 8 oz or u think 8 will do the trick?

If the shop won't help you could get the smaller size beads and add them through the valve stems yourself.
