So getting ready to go get my new Nitto tires put on my new wheels. I have read about different ways of balancing them. Weights, beads etc. I called my local Discount tire and Tire Kingdom and they only do weights. What is the best way?

Usually the spin balance that Discount Tire does is sufficient. There are other methods but spin balanced is all I have ever used and I have not had any trouble. If one of your tires take an excessive amount of weight have them rotate the tire on the rim to see if that helps, if not the tire may be out of round or there may be a problem with the rim. Discount Tire does enough tire balancing that they should have sufficient knowledge to do the job correctly.

Regular mount and balance has always served me well.

You can pay a little extra and they can road force them.

Just curious. I didn’t see it on your profile. Nothing important really
