All the weight in the world does little for an out of round rim, and out of round tires kinda suck too. Got the shake out of my Carryall by swapping one of the fronts to the rear, lots of beads in the tire as well, but it did not stop the shake at 55.
I think speed is why it becomes necessary to dial those puppies in. Under 45 I do not need balancing but over 55 I certainly do.
Lets keep in mind my tire and rim dials in at 145 lbs - that is a lot of rolling mass to keep in control.
Driving around town at 15lbs is no big deal, honking down the highway at 40 psi and at 65MPH is a whole different matter.
