You guys should be happy to find they replaced the clamp on style with stick on style or both in one instance. All wheels have 4 oz or more of weight. I can tell because the stick ons have 1/4 oz imprinted on them.
I do know they didn't remove the tire to try again. I think what they did was rebalance it "as-is" and just changed the weights.At least they did that.
A good tire guy with a decent machine will spin that tire on the wheel to get it “right”. I have a good local shop that takes its time.
Hell my steel Aero beadlocks and China MT’s didn’t take that much weight.
I’ve had tires like that. They’re basically just bad tires.
Could be the tire’s out of round, or have a “boot” in it.
That’s a heavy spot, sometimes visible from the inside of the tire. But regardless, it’s a bad tire.
Most tires I’ve had like that are “inexpensive” ones.
I just took off a set of 33” Patagonia M/T’s that were on my TJ when I bought it, and the worst one had 14 ounces of weight on it!
But I agree that on large tires 4 or 5 ounces would be acceptable.
Don’t know who you bought them from, but I’d take them back and get my money back.
