ak can only hope to improve
Every 7,500-10,000 miles

edit: at the same time, you rotate the wheels

I find this hard to believe but when I talked to a guy that balanced my wheels he recommended balancing the tires every time you remove them from the car which can suck cause I take my wheels off a lot...

That's not true. Don't listen to him. Do it every other oil change or every 8-10k mi. I have 3 cars and I 'm always swapping wheel/tire combos, for summer, winter, for racing season, etc.
Always check your tires for uneven wear or any weird patterns. It could be it needs a wheel alignment if your wheels/tires go out of balance frequently.

man you only balance your wheel's when you change your tires, to prevent yor wheels from vibrating,doing it every oil change is just a waste of $$$
