To the bumper--yarold n kumar, (Thanks for bumping!)
I agree with most of the responses which all mostly agree that the dealorship was trying to milk you out of extra money. In this economy, they are going to try that much harder to get that money out of your hands. If you really want a rotation, you can find a corner shop which might do it for you just for change and tips... Talking about those places which offer used sets of tires for 10 and patches for 7 bucks. On Actual balancing.. drastic mpg changes, difference in ride, need of an alignment--- because of a tire needing to be balanced. Basically the car will tell you if a tire needs to be balanced. And this is where rotations might catch or offer a need for balancing because you might spot it in the wear patterns as you look over the individual tires before you rotate them. Otherwise doing a balance every rotation is a luxury because it usually costs extra.
