That is nothing to worry about.  The main imbalance is tread irregularities, rim is relatively close to the hub and big showy truck tires tend to be made very cheaply.

Hell, balancing 31x18 drag slicks with stick on weights usually required 10 or so strips. A strip is 3 ounces. Do the math on how many pounds of lead that is.  And the tires hop all over the damn place, about as round as a football, and people would run 150-160mph on them...

 

Dammit, now I am nostalgic for the smell of inner tubes and new ET Streets.  I had a customer with a Pro Streeted '68 Camaro with a really raunchy big block (started as a 468, after two rebuilds it was a 540 or a 565), SFI happy TH350, 12 bolt on ladder bars and a spool and axles the size of my wrist, manual brakes with Strange four piston calipers and little 10x.375 mostly-air rotors at all four corners... and the guy drove it as a daily driver.  So I replaced a lot of huge ET Streets.

This reminds me of a Far Side cartoon captioned something like "Combination businesses that failed." The drawing was of a little cafe with a sign that said Landfill and Croissants.

obligatory meme...

That's inaccurate... there's no dust and boxes piled on top of the project car in the second picture.
