I have two used tires that im going to throw on some wheels i bought, the wheels were used and im going to throw some used tires i have on the wheels, do i need to get them balanced? is it bad if i dont have them balanced? can it bend/warp a rim or anything?

I know it can possibly cause a vibration but with that aside im just wondring if it can bend or warp the wheels or any other problems

i don't believe you can warp the rim...but u will definetely feel some vibration due to the rim not being balanced to the tire.. [patriot]

If ur gana drive normal conditions and the tires have good thread ledt then yes but if they are not too good and being used for some hard driving there's no point of balancing them. I would only balance used tires ir they are going to replace the fronts. Rear don't really bother. But that's jus me

everytime a tire is removed it needs to be rebalanced...and americas tire balances for free after you pay for it the first time. after that its free for the life of the car.(used to work there)
