Do wheels need to be rebalanced, unless the tyres have been removed from the rims.
Can a tyre get out of balance over age?

Do wheels need to be rebalanced,
Yes. You only have to hit a pothole, or mount a kerb in anger to knock out the balancing.

Most tyre manufacturers recommend rebalancing at about half worn.

.... but beware. Very few establishments, large or small, seem capable of properly rebalancing. That is to say, leaving you with a car that is free of self-induced steering vibration at all speeds.

mmh. Ive heard this before.
is wheel balancing really that unreliable - are you likely to be worse off that before?
I understand that balancing can be done "on car" - how does this work? Who does it? How much does it cost? Is it worth it? Does it affect abs? (rotating wheels off the ground?)
