Nine weights. Poor kid. Sounds like he was trying hard anyway.

I only have problems with my Thing's stock wide fives. Discount
Tire made an attempt to balance them but, screwed it up. When they
brought it out one wheel had 9 weights on it. The kid that did it
told me it was balanced so I drove it around the parking lot
wobbling all the way and went back and told them to take all the
weights off. It drove smooth without the weights so I just went
with it.
I have been thinking about buying an adapter that I found online but
haven't got around to it.
If anybody is interested here is the link.

OK, seriously. Is
everybody in TCB just wobbling around on unbalanced tires
or what?
Don't we have our tires balanced when they are mounted
or did we all just space out that day?

Are you sure you want to go "no charge for
TCB'ers"? We could keep you busy for a week
balancing tires. I have a set on my singe cab that
need to be balanced, and I wouldn't mind paying to
have it done.

No problem if you can wait
till I come up with an adapter.
No charge for tcb'ers.

Can you balance wide fives? I would be
willing to pay you to balance my Thing
Wheels. I am also a bus driver.
