Rotation and Balancing are usually free when you buy the tires and/or install them at a certain shop. I just bought my tires from Costco with lifetime rotation and balance.

If you don't buy tires the job will normally run around $15/wheel for a road force balance. Ask the shop to turn OFF the smart weight technology for best results.
