S.C. - Yep, you have to pay extra for that at most places.  But, a wise old tire guy told me once, and I quote, "I can ballance an egg so it will spin smoothly, but it's still gonn'a roll like an egg."  If you have the crack in the tread rubber cemented together, don't waste your money on ballancing.   :D
