Re: Gotta get my tires rotated...
Do you just get them rotated, or balanced and rotated?

it's not 100% necessary but it is reccomended. balancing the tires helps to reduce hopping or skipping (not wheel hop in the case of hard accelleration and loss of traction) that can create uneven wear patterns in tires and reduce vibration felt throughout the car.
