You balance your tires because sometimes the rim or rubber is too thick and it'll cause a wobble in your tire and steering. So when you take them to the dealer they add weights to balance them out. You don't absolutely have to do this but it sure does help alotAn unbalanced tire will cause a vibration in the suspension. You can feel this in the steering wheel. This imbalance will cause suspension and steering components to wear prematurely. Plus it will cause the tire to wear in an uneven pattern. Keeping your tires balanced is very important.
