I balance mine, when first installed ! Also rebalance them when I am rotating them, about every 50 passes. It is nice when you don't have a Vibration....

look at the back tires on some cars in the burnout box and you'll change your minds about not balancing your slicks I've seen some that look like a basketball bouncing

I would balance them if you can, Static/balance out the heavy spot. Ever wonder why some slicks in the burn out box are smooth and some bounce like StripeHog said. I have seen unbalance slicks show cords on one side and lots of wear indicator showing on opposite side. I have also driven a buddys car were it vibrated so bad I thought it was coming apart, balanced the slicks and smooth as silk.

I had a set that were out of balance, it would vibrate hard enough to shake my eye balls. Always bubble balance them after they get mounted.
