Who's they??
I have my own shop. I mount and balance my own tires. I've always used 1/4 oz stick on tire weights in the past, but with all this pretty chrome I decided to bead balance them.

I bead balanced, used my air compressor to gently shoot them in the tire. I think I did 1-1/2 oz in the front and 2 oz in the back.
It rides great, no issues....

good idea on using some air ‘blast” to get the beads in. Filing that away for future reference

Little tip I learned....first time I filled the tube up half way....yea, that was stupid...
Took forever. Figured out real quick. Only put enough beads to fill the tube about an inch. They go in fast and easy.
Also be careful on air. What you shoot in there wants to come back out.
