Default unbalanced tires??

so i got brand new rims and tires last week, i moutned them and balanced them myself in my schools shop. i know 100% sure they where perfectly balanced right when i put them on. I went mudding rigth after and now it shakes on the highway after 60mph and i washed all the mud out of the rims and everything, what could be going on??

they are mainly used for low profile rims. they stick on the inner rim so you have to clean all of the mud dirt or anything off the inner rim so they don't come off

yes the stick ons go on the inside of the wheel... any shop should have them.... i work at a tire shop and for most of the offroad tires and mudders we put balencing beads in them. they are expensive but they work and you dont have to worry about loosing weights
