Balancing Rear Tires?

Getting 6 new Toyos. Last time the only tires I had balanced were the fronts. Is this what most do, or do you have all 6 balanced? Not balancing the rears saves $100.00.

  • My preference and practice is to use beads. Hope that's one more for balancing.
  • I don't think any shop I've ever been to would put tires on without balancing them. I just include it as part of the price.
  • I always balance all tires. Usually with weights but this last set for the MH they used beads and they seem to work well.

    And probably beats your coach to death for the next 4 or 5 years...seriously? Just to save
    $100? :h

    I would never put a tire on any vehicles/trailer without balancing.

    As always... Opinions and YMMV.
