    I currently running 37's and before 35" Toyo MTs. I have always ignored balancing them due to figuring when I take it off the highway and road on the weekends after the work week that I would just off balance them.

    I am debating if it's worth balancing the 35" pro comps I am about to put on which are "NOT" New(another reason to not balance) about 40% tread which should get me about a year. I am looking those with more experience and advice on this subject. Balance or not? Thanks

    i'd go ahead and balance them. my tires had about 60% tread when i got the truck and i had a real bad shake at highway speeds because of them being out of balance

    After you go off road the mud can cake inside your wheels and through the balance off. But after you wash the truck real well your good to go again. No need to rebalance.
