Randy,

Don't worry about balancing -- just put Counteract, Equal, or one of the
other balancing beads/powders in them. It's worked great for me for the
past 30-40,000 miles. Without truing.

I personally prefer 4 oz of Counteract for my 225-75/16's. Each 4 oz
package contains a special valve core and a flimsy bag of beads. Just drop
the flimsy bag in the tire as it's being mounted; it will quickly burst and
allow the beads to dynamically seek the light spots, balancing the tire.
