Default Already balaced?

so I had to buy new rear tires the other day...they get here either today or monday..(hopefully) now, the rear wheels/tires are already balanced..so when I get the new tires (same ****ty sumitomos) when they mount them, do they still have to balance them?

Yes. They have to take the weights off to get the new tires on.

You really should get them balanced, b/c all tires aren't balanced the same from the factory. And as for the wear in the middle, I'd lower the air pressure in them until it wears right. Anytime I get tires put on, I have them use the sticky weights that go on the inside of the rim. That way the weights don't show and they don't mar the rim.
