Check your receipt or give Kal Tire a call (if you don't remember)...but many tire stores usually sell or offer lifetime (of the tires) balancing.
Discount Tire here in the USA offers lifetime balancing...and since I purchased both my summer & winter tires from them (for multiple vehicles over multiple years)...as a customer benefit...they also offer free mounting/dismounting of the summer/winter set-up...and they also balance them for free.
The free balancing is a nice benefit because you can lose a weight over the course of the year that the tires are mounted...so the next time they go onto the vehicle...if the wheels did lose a weight or for some reason were out of balance...it would be caught at the next change-over.
Again, you need to ask Kal Tire about this and if they offer these benefits to customers that have purchased from them.
Good luck.
