Blancing of Tires

Getting ready to install 4 rear Tires, do most of you balance your rear tires. Is it necessary. Thanks Roy

    From recent personal experience, I'm thinking that might not be true. No pun intended.
  • my BIL was a truck driver and he told me that if I were to balance my TT tires it would tow better. I really hate it when he is right. I now balance my TT when I buy new and check them every few years. it does make a big difference in towing and handling

    IMO experience those with Class A's do not rotate their tires, but do balance all 6 or 8. That could get very expensive if done every 5K.
  • My rule is, if it spins it needs to be balanced. Plus, once you start rotating the new tires every 5k miles or so they're all going to be pretty much balanced after awhile even if you just balance the fronts.
