You know those places that sell tires and then offer free rotations for the
life of the tire? They charge extra for checking and adjusting balance. And it's often not necessary. I've let my 1991 Civic's tires go through many rotations without worrying about the balance. Instead, I wait for symptoms of an unbalanced wheel, such as uneven tire wear, strange steering, or odd noise, before even considering tire balancing. Also, if I hit something on the road with the wheels, like a pothole, I might consider balancing. One advantage of rotating tires yourself is you may pay more attention to tire wear. Another advantage is you can have confidence the lug nuts are torqued to spec, assuming you have a (properly calibrated) torque wrench.

They will stay in balance much longer. You can do a closer job of torqueing them by hand than the dealer does with his air tools. Be sure to buy a second scissor jack, and dont stand the car on it's ear, just barely get them off the concrete. 'Curly' |
