OK so I just ordered mud tires for my YJ, I've been wheeling it on All Terrain tires for close to a year. I'm new to the Jeep and off road thing but from my experience with cars, tire balancing is pretty important. My father in law, who is also my mechanic, told me there was no need to balance a tire. He infact has not balanced tires on any of his personal or work vehicles.
I could understand not balancing tires on a trailrig, but my Jeep sees alot of street time. I'm thinking of mounting them and driving for a bit to humor him but I'm guessing they will need balanced.
Can anyone back him up? Am I crazy and totally been wasting my money on tire balancing?
