I rotate my tires with oil changes every 7,500 miles (Mobil 1 EP). Do you also balance them other than when getting new tires even if there are no symptoms such as vibration? I don't want to throw away an extra $50 for no reason but if there are benefits from it then I would do it. Was thinking perhaps balancing every other oil change/rotation service; I did get it done at 15k and got new tires at 30k so I would be on pace to do it at 45k. What do you think? If it matters, I have a G35X sedan, I'm riding on Michelin Primacy MXM4's and don't drive it like I stole it like some of you.

 

No need when simply rotating them unless you lose a weight or some new symptom appears.

 

^ whs, tires are balanced with the rim that they are on and not to the corner that they are mounted on... on the other hand some ppl with directional tires 'rotate' tires by actually having them dismounted from the rim and mounted on another one to allow tire to be used in another corner in which case balancing would be a needed.

 

I would get them balanced. That's why it's called rotate and balance lol

 

Unless you've lost a wheel weight or caused the tire to slip on the rim, there's no need to balance when rotating.

I don't even bother balancing after mounting new autocross tires. The wheel has been balanced and it's usually good enough.
