So, its when I took the truck to an alternate location to get the tires balanced, same retail company, were the ones that wouldn't work on the tires as they weren't the appropriate tires for the truck. To be fair, the two store managers are working with each other to determine a possible solution. The tires are Michelin Defenders T+H, but don't have a specific "P" code on the tire. Thanks for the input guys.
Wow! In that case, try a different place for the balancing... you'd have to pay though...which sucks.

The other thing comes to mind is take all 4 wheels/tires off the truck, haul them to the tire shop in another truck for balancing. No truck, no problem!
