Would like to mention that the 17.5" Michelin XTA tires I just got took max of 3.0 oz to balance. The tire guy said there was a "area on the tire when matched with the stem area, would reduce the amount of weights needed"
Not sure if he was correct, but I was happy that these big tires only took small amount of correction.
