Don't let the tire shop use clip on weights. I bought a set of tires last week (new) and when I pulled out of the driveway and got up to about 45 I heard a couple of clanks under the truck. Didn't think anything of it, maybe rocks or something. Got the thing up on the freeway and it was vibrating, took it back to have the tires balanced, took it back on freeway, within 100 yards I hear 3 loud clanks hitting inside the 2 front wheel wells and passenger rear. I knew they were weights because the truck started vibrating right away.
Took it back a third time and they put stick on weights. Tech said he didn't want to use them at first because he would have had to use a wire wheel (on an airgun, really hard right) to scuff away some corrosion and road grime. Well, he did it the right away and a few mile test on the freeway, no loud clanking noises haha.
So if you buy new tires, insist on stick on weights! Or I read in another thread orange Toyota specific clip ons only.
