When you get new tires and as needed afterwards. I don't get mine balanced
unless there is a vibration that could be from the tires or the shop does it
for free when I have them rotated. Some places will do that if you bought
the tires there.

It depends a lot on the car and the tires. Some tires seem to get out
of balance as they wear much moreso then others. And some vehicles
seem much more sensitive to the slightest out of balance in a tire
then others. I've had cars where I"ve had to have the tires
rebalanced every 5000 miles and I"ve had cars where I could go 20K
miles and not have any need for rebalance. Ditto on the tires, I've
had some tires get off several ounces in only 5000 miles and other
tires that were still dead on after 20K miles.

If you rotate your tires normally, get it done whenever the steering
wheel shakes. Finding an unbalanced tire is a pretty good reason to
rotate the tires even if they do naturally wear evenly. An unbalanced
rear wheel can cause suspension and tire wear without you noticing.

Twice a year. I run snow tires in the winter and normal in the summer. The
place I bought the snows (Direct Tire in MA, USA) offers free switchover and
rebalancing if you buy tires from them. I suppose to be precise each set is
balanced and rotated just once a year.
