Tire Balancing at our Frostproof shop

The easy answer is at every rotation, since the wheels are already off the car. Beyond that, any time you feel a speed-related vibration or you've had a tire repaired or replaced.

All four. Front imbalance is what you feel in your hands, so it gets noticed first, but rear imbalance is just as real and shows up through the seat. Balancing two of four is half a job.

Usually a weight came off, often after a curb or a pothole. Sometimes the tire itself has a variation in it that acts like imbalance and won't stay corrected. Either way, bring it back and we'll find out which one it is.

Yes. Patching a tire adds material to one spot inside it, and the assembly comes off the wheel and goes back on. Balancing afterward is part of doing the repair right.

It helps. An assembly that's hopping down the road at highway speed scuffs tread and puts extra work on suspension and steering parts. Smooth is easier on the whole corner of the car.
