Default weld rt-s and et street radial problems

After returning 2 sets of weld wheels and m/t tires requiring more than 7 ounces of weight per wheel I'm just wondering if it's just my horrible luck or this is considered normal. I'm new to the whole drag radial deal but when the mud tires on my truck required less than 7 oz. On all four tires this just threw a red flag. Any help or advice appreciated *edit* 15x10 wheels 275/50R15 tires

I think it's the MT's. They sometimes just balance horribly.

big DR's are always going to require a lot of balancing....

Try pulling the tire spinning it 180* and remount/reballance. You could have lined up a heavy spot in the wheel with the heavy spot in the tire. Might be worth a try.

I agree, do this first before returning another set.
