How often do you guys have your tires re-balanced?
Until now, I just did it when I got new tires. |

I don't get mine balanced unless there is a vibration that could be from the tires or the shop does it for free when I have them rotated. Some places will do that if you bought the tires there.

I run snow tires in the winter and normal in the summer. The place I bought the snows (Direct Tire in MA, USA) offers free switchover and rebalancing if you buy tires from them. I suppose to be precise each set is balanced and rotated just once a year. Dave |

The new tire I've bought required rotation at 10,000 kms intervals in
order to be covered if you make a warranty claim. This is good time to get it done because the weights could have come loose or a chunk got broken off. If you've come to squealing stop, you will have lost a bit of rubber. That will need some adjustment. Better safe than sorry later. |
