Default Gary or Others: Does a wheel need to be re-balanced if the tire is taken off and re-mounted?

Scenario:

Visit a tire shop, wheels are already balanced with current tires.

Worker dismounts the tire off the wheel, inspects it, and remounts it. Does the tire/wheel need to be re-aligned if there was nothing added/removed from the tire/wheel?

Thanks

Default Yes.

When the tire is removed from the rim, then remounted, the combo should be balanced.

Since the tire's position has most likely changed relative to the rim, then yes.
