How often are you guys getting your tires balanced? Do you wait till you have a vibration or a certain mileage?

I wait until I can feel something through the steering wheel, and I consider myself extra sensitive. If I can't feel it, there's nothing wrong.

If the rear wheels become out of balance slightly, will you still feel it in the steering wheel?

what places offer the lifetime balance and rotation? I know walmart will do it. Any others?

I bought a lifetime balance from a local Tires Plus store on a set of tires for my Expedition that I run only in spring-summer-fall. Each time I bring them in for a little vibration and show them my "lifetime" receipt, they give the job to the newest of the newbies who just hired on and can barely lift the tire onto the balancer. Invariably, they mess something up and the problem doesn't go away. I usually end up bringing them to a trusted shop that's 21 miles away, but always does the right job the first time.
