I've never owned a set of tires that needed balancing after the initial balance unless they threw a weight. Or a big deposit of mud inside the rim that just needed washing away.

I rotate tires in the spring when I take off my snows. I keep uneven tire wear to a minimum by watching for front end alignment changes and by keeping the inflation pressure at the pressures I've found for good results.

Regular tire rotation doesn't reduce tire wear, it just spreads the wear out. Tire wear is reduced by maintaining good alignment and inflation pressure. I don't understand folks urge for the frequent rotations and balancing.

And, I've read so many stories and heard from folks that work for Wally about how the workers are treated poorly and underpaid that I only shop there when there are no other choices. Anyway, Costco has better tire prices if you want Michelin or Bridgestone tires.
