Question:

Do the wheel/tire products come balanced?

The wheel and tire combos, like the Karrier ST215/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire and White Wheel, # AM32181, are not shipped to us balanced and we do not have the equipment to balance them. A trailer tire does not have to be balanced but you can certainly do so at a local tire shop.

A lot of the time, but not every time, when we receive the tire/wheels the heavy spot on the tire will be offset by the light spot of the wheel so that the tire is a little more balanced. I have included a link to a tire FAQ article for you to view.
