Is Wheel Balancing Necessary When Rotating Front and Rear Tires?

[VonMaximus]

Wheel balancing is required when rotating front and rear tires, otherwise it may cause wheel wobbling or steering wheel vibration during driving. Generally, if the tire rotation is performed at a 4S dealership, they will require wheel balancing to ensure service quality. Wheel balancing is needed under the following circumstances: 1. After installing new tires or post-collision repair. 2. When experiencing unilateral wear on front or rear tires. 3. When the steering wheel feels excessively heavy or exhibits floating/shaking during driving. 4. When the vehicle tends to pull to the left or right while driving straight. 5. Even without these symptoms, it's recommended to perform wheel balancing for new vehicles after 3 months of driving, and subsequently every six months or 10,000 kilometers.
