| I just got a new rear tire. The shop that put it on for me didnt balance it though. Do you have to have them balanced. I havent had any trouble with it but it just sounded odd not to balance it.

| Some guys say you don't really need to, especially if you limit your speed to legal. Personally, I don't chance vibration and the associated premature wear. I have them balanced. My dealer charges $15, wheel off, with balancing.
