I agree, i know some folks throw on 40-50 pound rims and 90+ pound tires so mine at 97 are definitely on the light side (by design). I understand why they just make a size claim and move on, because of how wildly it varies, but still, like you mentioned, if you're lifting the tires during the rotation, you're doing it wrong.Tire and wheel weights vary - I'd bet that some 35s may be 10 to 15 pounds heavier depending on wheel and tire (MTs?? etc.)
Still, there are ways to rotate tires without heavy lifting. I've been doing it for years since starting to have back issues because of my decades of lifting and bending over fenders.
But then some shops may not have the same staff and/or equipment others do, so........... if one refuses, try another.
