Just buy MT/ Boling ones, they are made really nice. And they are nice people too.

You should have been able to see any runout on the tire balancer.
How much weight did each wheel take? A lot of weights usually means something is not right. There are some bad repro vintage tires with excessive runout. I just had a friend send one back.

You can lower the tire pressure. The maximum pressure on the tire is not the recommended pressure. Its the maximum weight the tire can support at that pressure. If you look at new cars the recommended tire pressure on the door post will be lower than the maximum pressure on the tire. That's because the same tire is meant to go on a lot of different weight vehicles. Lower it to 28 psi and see if that improves the ride. Its hard for me to know what "smooth" means. Is it shaking going down the road or does it just ride harsh, is it wandering around...
