Tire balancing, once a year? not at all?

I have some Bias belted Raised white lettered tires on my '72 Cutlas that are at least 24 years old. Still hold air all winter. Wouldn't race them any more at the dragstrip cause they are 24 years old LOL ...but 5-7-10 years old to replace are only "internet" magic numbers.

I don’t get them balanced unless there’s an issue…even then, it’s free and as for time, I drop it off at discount, walk next door to the grocery store, come back and go home.
i save lots of time going through the auto car wash which is another hot topic 😂

Had Toyo at3s few years ago and cupped before 5k miles. Said off-road tires should be done more often. They were not upselling me as I previously bought discounts insurance for around 125
rotate and balance every 5k and replace a tire if the free repairs don’t work.

could you make your point without making personal attack? Tires wear, by wearing they change their weight and size. Balance changes. Struts wear. Now if you are using beads, that’s different. What this boils down to is money for some of you. So again, you guys do you. So I guess you guys never adjust your pressures either! LOL!

Such a controversial subject so I went and talked to my tires to get facts and here’s what they had said:
Hey man, I lay the tracks to every where you wanna go and now you come to me with this! The tires ego got deflated and then went flat. Rip tires, now I’ll never know if balancing is just an urban legend 😢
