I can't remember off hand, but people did this for the AR 767s all the time. Dig around, there should be at least a few threads on this.

Nail polish remover WITH acetone works well.

I can second that. I have some banna peel 38's that have worn completely even and no wheel vibes from an out of balance tire.

IIRC, 12 oz. should do it but dont mark my word on that!

I was just researching that very question and came across this PDF. Look at page two, they have weights for off road use.

the centrifugal force will even out the weights no matter how much you put in as long as you have enough. I see threads where people try to get scientific about how much to put in " my tires had four ounces in them so i put in exactly four ounces it worked great"
yeah that's all well and good until you tear another lug off the bad side of the tire while wheeling it.
The physics are pretty simple. The air soft pellets will distribute themselves to balance the tire, once balanced the rest of the pellets will evenly distribute around the tire having no further effect on its balance. To do anything different or to try and get the "right amount" ignores the physics of the issue. I wouldn't put 4 pounds in them, but 1/2-3/4 lb or so should balance anything you drive.
I buy either the larger can at walmart, $14 or so or two of the smaller cans $10 and split the pellets amongst four tires. I use the same mount of pellets to balance my 35 or the 265/70/17s on my dually and the wife's expedition. The resuts are the same, perfectly balanced tires.
