    Balance yes because when the tires wear out they don't wear out evenly so you need to balance them especially the front at low speeds you wont notice but at high speeds you will feel the wiggle of the steering wheel. wheel alignment at least once a year.

    try to rotate it first, Then if you feel some vibration on your steering wheel you need to rebalance them.You need wheel alignment if you find that your tires have an even wear.

    I just rotate the tires. Even here at home. Kung may vibrations saka na lang ipa-check. Btw, I have all four tires balanced. So wherever they may be positioned, they are supposed to be balanced.

    I do the tire rotation myself every 10,000 kms. Nakadalawang rotate na ako. So far, okay naman at walang vibrations.

    normally a pineperform ang tire balance kapag na remove at kinabit uli ang tires sa magwheel...

    tire rotation as i read from a general service manual of toyota, is done every 10,000 or 5,000 km depending on your vehicle's drive train.

    kung part time 4wd or rear-wheel drive, it is done every 10,000 km, kung full time 4wd or front-wheel drive, it is done every 5,000 km... medyo complicated ito as to yung rotation pattern niya is variable din.

    before, i do it every 10,000 kms, i can see that the results are good naman, that time when my mileage registered a bit over 25,000 kms, my tires still look as good as brand new pa naman.... now, i'm doing it every 5,000 kms, i believe mas magiging ok yung result

    from my experience, to extend your tire's life span, tire rotation should be always be accompanied with the correct tire pressure.

    Nice tips, driven. I'm on my 28,000 kms. After I rotate my tires at 30,000 kms, I'd do the rotation every 5,000 kms. Thanks.

    Nung nagpalit ako ng tires nag pa align ako sa Goodyear Servitek, imbes na walang kiling e nagkaroon at malakas talaga. Binalik ko, nawala yung kiling sa kanan, sa kaliwa naman pumunta. Bahagya lang naman. Tinamad na akong magpunta uli para ipa back job. Masama noon e nagbayad pa ako sa alignment.Magaling pa yata sa Blumentritt.

    If you're tires are not lahat the same age, yung mas bago sa harap. Mas mabilis ma wear sa harap lalo pa pag car.

    when my tires were rotated, I noticed that my rims have different sizes of lead weights. The front tires have smaller lead weights than the rear tires. Would this affect my wheel balance? What will be the expected effect?
