How often to get wheel balancing done?
Now that I am thinking of swapping the winter/summer wheels myself.
One question comes to mind, how often should I get the wheels balanced?

Heres what I do which is probably overkill but........
2008 R350 RWD non airmatic. 123600mi on vehicle
Rotate every 5000 mi
Somewhere between 25-30k mi I rebalance and have an alignment "shot" done and tweek it if needed.
Running Conti 4x4 Contacts which have ~53000 mi on em now with 6-7/32 of tread depth still left on them. New tire tread depth is 10/32 i think.? Lucky to have an excellent front end/chassis tech at the stealer to get this done correctly.(A smoked brisket or pork butt helps too!!!)
Have a safe holiday

that sound about right I have not rotated that often. But I should. The fronts wear quickly and once they get out of shape its hard to get back.
I have flipped them once to salvage few extra thousand KM. From right front right outside to left rear inside.
