This is a stupid question to anyone mechanically inclined, all new tires need to be dynamically (X & Y axis) balanced to the new wheel to avoid vibration and wheel hub bearing wear. That's a no-brainier and no reputable tire shop will warranty the tires when they aren't balanced to the wheel set. You don't have to re-balance your driveshaft after you replace U-joints, but it's a damn good idea if you don't want to replace the trans output and differential seals/bearings. Pay a bit now to do it right or pay out the wazoo later on when the cogs fly apart.
Absolutely. New tires aren't perfectly balanced, and neither are your rims - balancing them will prevent vibration as well as wear and tear.
When they mount the tire they should remove any existing weights from the rims, check for balance using their machine, and then add a weight to bring it into perfect balance. If they do it properly, only one weight per rim should be necessary.
I've had one case where I had a tire mounted and by freak coincidence it was perfectly balanced - without the need for any weights.
Absolutely. It is critical to do so. Otherwise an unbalanced tire will not track the road surface properly, will cause a jumpy or harsh ride, and wear your new tires unevenly and prematurely. Wheel/tire balancing costs next to nothing, no reason not to do so. Protect your investment.
No,
there's no law or other requirement to balance any tires. You are free to drive 'em unbalanced, at the expense of increased vibration and wear.

Yes, otherwise you'll have problems that could end up making costly repairs necessary. I don't know why tire factories can't make balanced tires, I think it has to do with the nature of rubber. It's nearly impossible to make balanced tires.
It's advisable, to make sure they will perform at their best. If you don't balance them, they might be off and they will shake at high speeds and cause uneven wear costing more money.
You can gamble and hope your tires are balanced, but might cost you another set. Or just spend $15/ tire to get them balanced and make sure they are actually true.
That all depends on how long you want them to last. Balanced tires/wheels roll better and last longer as well as give better performance and gas mileage. Tires that are out of balance can also wear out suspension parts much more quickly.
oh yes, neither the tire nor the rim are perfectly balanced, even when new, so you need to check and correct so the tires will wear well
Yes. Unbalanced tires cause wear on the steering and suspension. They also reduce traction as they tend to bounce off the road albeit minimally. You will also get vibration through the steering wheel at a certain mph.
As indicated you don't need to do anything, but rather accept the consequences of your actions. Tires and wheels are not perfect so balancing them is a good idea.
No you don't have to but if you want a smooth ride without a bounce and the tires to last as long as possible, then it would be best to balance them.
Yes, it saves wear and tear.
That's a pretty dumb question. They don't balance themselves.
參考: Mitsubishi Master Tech
Yes.
You can always have an experiment and find out what driving with unbalanced tires is like.
參考: Engine overhaul mechanic and general automotive mechanic, since 1972
No one makes tires that are balanced. If you don't balance the tires and they are out of balance very far, you will gt vibration while driving and wear out the tires much quicker than normal.
You can try it, don't be surprised when you have vibration at 70 MPH.
I am sure it has been done. In fact, often a weight will fall off. The degree of balance required is greater than manufacturing tolerances. The result may be thumping, vibration, shaking steering wheel, etc. I think I used to skip balancing in the back wheels for economy. The earth did not open up and swallow me.
YES, if they are not the warranty on them is voided!
Yes, very well worth the cost
it is partially a matter of driver comfort but it can extend the life of the tires also.
All answer above is write, New tires aren't perfectly balanced, and neither are your rims
yes, better safe than sorry
yes unless you want to feel like your floating like a lowrider
Absolutely. If you have them installed - the shop will automatically do this for you.
Even though a tire appears round....they may not be.
No, you don't. But if you don't, your tires will wear faster, your vehicle will vibrate and ramble - the higher the speed, the worse the shake. But no, you don't. If you can't afford it and you are just trying to get by and don't care about the shake and wear and tear on your tires and car, as well as poor gas mileage, then no, you don't.
Yes u do new ties can't balance right first time
Need? No. But you won't be happy if you don't.
Yes, no tire is made perfectly balanced.
you really only have to balance them once(when new). I've never had a tire that had to be rebalanced when worn.
If you drive in traffic tie ups every day then you are not going fast. 20MPH is the fastest you can do with your 400HP Hi Performance vehicle.
So sad, too bad.
Yes, Otherwise you are putting more wear on either front or rear tires!
Balance new tires AND get the front end aligned.
Yes because it causes your tires to wear off faster
tyres that are balanced are....fuel efficient...last longer...quiet.....will break to there max... safer and money saveing
My experience is balance saves them but I run into a lot of issues if you go somewhere they don't know what they are doing. If its' a good place do it so your tires wear evenly.
Yes a must
smoother Ride
Tyre's last Longer
steering is smoother
i always get a wheel alignment with new Tyres
You'd be better off putting them on your car rather than doing party tricks with them.
Always even if the tires were perfect the wheels you put them on are not.
You would be very stupid not to.
yes, of course, once balanced that usually lasts 20,000 miles, sometimes less
Yes, unless you don't mind premature ware of suspension components.
Unbalanced tires can also cause unsafe driving conditions at higher speeds.
It will also cause the tire tread to wear uneven, dramatically shortening the life of the tire.
But after running one set of unbalanced tires at highway speeds, you're probably going to damage steering components as well as struts and shocks. It would cost you a lot more money in the long run.
Yes. Every time tires are put on a wheel that wheel should be balanced.
Tell you what, go on and drive without having them balanced and see how you like it. The car will drive very badly like 4 cats on a harness pulling a wagon.
You either get it done when they fit the new tyres or a week later at double the cost when the steering wheel threatens to shake out of your hand at 55 MPH
Definitely. You should also get an alignment.
Absolutely! Look at any new car's wheels inside the rim. They will have stick-on balance weights. *Go to the Hunter GSP 9700 as you look through the site there will be an empty box to enter your zip code. After you enter it, a list of private mechanics, new car dealerships and tire shops in your area will pop up who have this particular *wheel and tire balancing machine. This machine balances the wheels as well as the tires exactly like the suppliers of new wheels and tires do for new car companies.
Always. They don't already balanced on YOUR car and on YOUR wheels.
Absolutely. New tires aren't perfectly balanced, and neither are your rims - balancing them will prevent vibration as well as wear and tear.
When they mount the tire they should remove any existing weights from the rims, check for balance using their machine, and then add a weight to bring it into perfect balance. If they do it properly, only one weight per rim should be necessary.
