I've sent a note off concerning the weights. There are many different cases where they tell
you to leave the weights on. Here is the information that Innovative Balancing has posted

Denny,

Did you look at this chart?

It shows 6oz of beads in an 8.75R16.5 tire.

I'll be using 4 oz in my LT215R85 16" tires.

I'll check with Physics profs on Mon/Tues next week. It will be at least 9 months (or longer) before I buy new tires, so I will not be able to test the beads for a long time. The fellow that I work with on my trucks has access to tire-changing and dynamic tire-balancing tools. I think we'll mount the tires and check to see how much weight they need and if the weight is abut equal side-to-side. If the needed weights are about equal side-to-side, I'll go with the beads alone.
