2017 Seneca 37TS Tire Balancing

Getting new tires for my Seneca and am wondering if I should have the rear tires balanced? Your thoughts and experience about this

Are you replacing all tires or the fronts only? If replacing all then balance all. If replacing fronts only, how long will it be before you replace the rears and have them balanced with replacement?

I would say if you can have them balanced then do so. That's my general position on ALL tires. My alignment shop would not balance the rears, but they balanced and trued the fronts and it helped.

I'm looking at Centramatic balancers for my rig. Similar in concept to the beads SloPoke mentioned, but uses a plate mounted to the hub (or between the duallies on the rear) and ball bearings suspended in oil in a "racetrack" around the outer perimeter.

The way I see it, my rig sits still for long periods of time (unfortunately), so I'd like to install something that will auto-balance the wheel/tire/hub assembly at all times as the tire wears and changes over time.

Turns out that the shop that installs the tires spin balances all 6 tires
