FYI, it's called "Smart Weight" rather than smart balance, at least on Hunter machines that are commonly used. I wouldn't say junk the tires immediately, though. There are so many things in play here, that sometimes it takes some time to get right. 4runners have very sensitive steering geometry and even a little imbalance can be felt. Even alignment can contribute to this to some extent, though it wouldn't be the first thing I'd be looking at for sure.
But yes, balance and road force. Make sure the dealer is using adaptor plate to balance. If they are not, find a Discount Tire that does. Sure, it will cost you to balance, but it's worth the time wasted at dealers, finding the dealers, driving and then waiting.
