I also put on the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss 35X12.50 R18 as a replacement. Did you have balancing problems with the Mickey's? I had to return my first pair because the Hunter Elite road force numbers were in the late 40's and some 50 plus. Im on my second pair of four with still a Road Force number of 56 on the worst tire. Mickey Thompson offered to give credit to get four new tires from a different manufacture but I still want to make these tires work. I was considering switching them to Toyo Open Country RT Pro's that have a strong history of having no balancing issues but they are way more aggressive then MT's and might have a lot of road noice. I like the MT's because they are great in the snow and beach which are the two conditions I travel most in the truck. I would ignore the bouncing in my seat from he unbalanced tires but I am afraid if I continue on with this tires eventually it will compromise my trucks performance even more after they wear and put extra stress on my expensive shocks ect. Any thoughts?

These actually balanced out really well, we have great luck with MT here.
 
That's odd to me. Ive had 2 sets of Baja Boss one Mt and my current set of At's and both balanced great.
 
I’ve had Mickey Thompsons for about 2 years now and I had balancing issues as well. A case was opened with them apparently, but I never heard anything. I’ve just learned to live with the light pulsation and moved the worst tire to the rear. They are also pretty loud, they however have excellent traction in almost all conditions.

On my second pair of four new tires as replacements for the horribly bad tires, all four, it ended up being a little better and I did move my worst tire with a score of 56 road force number on the top of line Hunter Road Force Elite machine to the back but eventually will I need to rotate these tires and than what do I do? Also the one worst tire will prematurely wear the other tires out unevenly. And what about the extra stress that it is putting on our great shocks? I'm more worry about the future. Will the problems I am already having get worse? These tires were not cheap and I spent a lot of extra money to correct the issue. But I love these tires so much that I am not willing to trade them in for different tires even though Mickey Thompson already gave me a credit to do so. I just love the look of the MT's. My replacement tires would be the Toyo Open Country RT Pro's. Which are also awesome looking aggressive tires but even though they have a reputation of balancing perfectly the are much loader and not as great on the road. They would however lok great on the truck. Thoughts?

I love them though in the Snow, Rain and Sand.

The balancing issues really bothered me in the beginning, but after 2 years and almost 25k miles I’ve gotten used to it. I do have to remember to let the service guys know not to rotate the tires though, one time I forgot and the bad tire ended up in the front, I really thought something was broken with the suspension until I remembered it was the tire. The problem is that even after 25k miles they look brand new and don’t seem to have worn much so I haven’t thought of replacing them.

There was a thread recently where someone posted a chart of all the pros and cons of various tire brands, I’ll see if I can find it.

I would love to see that chart but I can't find it in the search. Any idea where I can find it?
