You can try Purcel off of 201

I don't see a reason any Les Schwab or BigO couldn't do the job, hell they sell those size tires they should be able to balance them. The other option you have is to grab some balancing beads and have them tossed inside the tire. I have used air soft pellets in the past with good success.

Take it to a semi tire shop if you can't find someone else.

4wheel parts on 1800s redwood. That's not even a big tire. Every shop should be able to do those.

Exactly right... No reason any standard balancer shouldn't handle these.

Back when i worked at a tire shop depending on the width of the tire, and backspacing some 35's weren't able to be balanced. The big issues is being able to close the hood on the balancer.

35 tends to be the largest most shops are able to do but i would honestly say go for the beeds, especially if you are planning on offroad use. Better than popping in every so often to get them balanced.
