Balance Tires

My truck has 35x12.50x15 tires on it. I blew 1 tire and was looking into buying new tires. Well, I'm thinking of buying just 1 tire as the others arent bad. They have some dry rot, but again, not bad. Should I get the 1 tire balanced, the others have no wheel weights on them and the truck doesnt drive too bad as it was.

I'd just get them all balanced while you're there.

Dry rot does cause tires to blow or lose air.

What do you think caused the one tire to blow.... Dry rot, weather ck, what ever you call it, is a blow out waiting to happen.

X2 on since you are there having one done, you might a well have them computer spin balance them all, I bet they hang some lead on them.
