Default Do our tires need balancing?

I have 10,000 miles on my stock Bridgestones. I was wondering since our tires have shorter lives than most other tires, do they need balancing before they wear out? Anyone had to balance theirs?

i only do balance when new tires are first mounted. otherwise i never have to bother balancing them again until they wear out and i am getting new tires. of course, if your wheel is damaged (bent) that might throw the balance off

Do you constantly feel vibration on the steering wheel? Otherwise, $pend the $ on car wash supplies.
