Tire Balance
Calendar item
As needed, and with every tire install. A rebalance every ~10,000 mi or 12 months is a cheap, low-priority check.
Interval
As needed · suggest ~10,000 mi / 12 mo

No replacement part — this is a check or rotation. See the notes below.
Why it matters
Wheel weights fall off and tires wear unevenly. An out-of-balance wheel shows up as a shimmy at highway speed and cups the tread.
Shop notes
Ask for it with a rotation or when you feel vibration around 55–70 mph.
Any tire shop can do it. Road-force balancing helps if a vibration remains after a normal balance.
