I had mine re-balanced at NTB, National Tire and Battery, They didn't removed the old weights just added to them.
Coming up on 10K and I going to use my points for oil and rotation. I think I'll removed all weights before I go in.

5,400+ miles, so I took it to the dealer for her 1st oil change. Like the mechanic suggested, just rotate your tires at every oil change and change the filter while the left front tire is out of the way. It's not necessary, but it sure gives you a lot more room to work. That's the way I'll be doing it. They had four 2019 Rangers for sale at Ford AutoNation in Wickliffe, Oh yesterday if anyone is looking.

I failed to rotate my tires 1st oil change. Dumb. One tire developed cupping. Moved that to spare. Might have avoided with timely rotation. 195/70-17 Toyo Open Country R/T Tires on 17x10 wheels +12 mm offset.

OCI at 5k, tire rotation every other OCI, so 10k. Front to back. Tires are wearing perfectly at 30k.

I rotate at every service interval, between 5k and 7500 miles. Full synthetic oil too. This is a really great way to prolong the life of your engine and your tires too. Not enough people do this. It's a relatively small price to pay to ensure maximum equipment life and performance. I know people who think that dipstick means their little brother. Sad really, especially today when it seems like all new vehicles are steps beyond what they used to be. I just wish I had the garage space to house all the tools and equipment I need so I could do it all myself.

I GET ROUGHLY 80,000 KMS OUT OF MY TIRES, SO, I ROTATE THEM FRONT TO BACK AT 40,000 KMS. I NEVER ROTATE THE TIRES SIDE TO SIDE AS THAT CAUSES PEAKS AND VALLEYS IN THE TREADS
