I ran 265/70R17 in E load on my previous 2016 4Runner and always had balance problems. I honestly lived with it since I liked everything else about the tire (rugged as hell, great snow performance, good looking, good price), but I'm seriously considering avoiding Falken this time around since looking back on the whole thing having to have tires re-balanced constantly and never being quite right was really frustrating. I actually was also running SCS wheels at that point (plan on keeping with the stock TRD Pro wheels this time around).
I probably had Discount Tire re-balance my Falkens at least 3 or 4 times, and every time I felt like they were better for a few thousand miles and would then start to degrade again...
