better yet- balance beads.

Your choice but I still need convinced that they work.

This^ If they call for a lot of weight i spin em up to 4 times. First 180 then 90 then 180 from that. If it still wants too much weight time for another tire. Ive only seen one tire that would not change by spinning it on the rim in the 6 years ive been changing them. I mounted tires on a dually and have seen them want 5.00 oz on the left plane and 7.00 oz on the right plane. Spin tire 180 and changed it to 3.00oz on the left plane and 2.75 oz on the right plane

That works quite well. I have done that many times with good results.

It is possible to get a tire that requires no weights. Indicates a well made tire. Unlikely to have a set of 4 work out that way. Even with real good tires like a Michelin.
Make sure you have them Dynamic Balanced. It's a 2 plane balancing & is the right way to do it. Much better method.
The "dots" on the tires are there for mounting & valve stem orientation, but can be
RED or YELLOWand are positioned differently. RED is usually mounted opposite the valve stem and YELLOW at the valve stem.
Regardless of the dots(or no dots) the wheels need to be Dynamic Balanced.
As Toolmanmike points out the force is pretty great with only an small amount of imbalance. 2oz. of imbalance is equal to 20# of force against the pavement at highway speed & increases as speeds go up. This is why trailer tires need to be balance also.

Yes it is possible to get a tire that doesn't require weight. My last pair of 8R-19.5's had one that was perfect. The shop owner even came over and balanced it 3 times to make sure. The dots are for stem alignment and aligning the two seems to help. I always like to re-balance after a thousand miles. The balance always changes.
