I would match mount the tire using the white or colored dot on the tire to the valve stem. Large truck rims have a punch mark sometimes showing you the heaviest place on the rim. Most of the time they almost always don't need any weights. Most good tires have the dots painted on them. Also if it takes a lot of weights you should deflate tire and rotate on the rim 180 and see if it balances better. Most times it will. I have found some cheaper tires just don't balance at all and have sent them back to the dealer or used on a trailer somewhere. Most tire store don't school their help on the right way to mount and balance tires. Ask the person if he knows how to match mount your tire, If he doesn't know ask him to try it, May save you problems and teach him a new way of doing it. I'm retired from a large truck leasing company, Had over 500 units we maintained just at our location, Lot of tires. Company sent us to tire school every couple years. Tires are your second expense under fuel cost.
