No, I don't balance knobby tires mounted on dirt bikes, dual sport bikes, or adventure bikes. I have never felt the need to do so, since my bikes don't perform like sport bikes, and I don't notice any adverse effects from not balancing the tires. Also, knobby tires always wear a little unevenly, so I don't think the balance would last for long. I think the most important maintenance tasks for off road wheels is keeping the spokes tight, and the wheel true.
