Tire Balancing Beads

Hey Dave, Usually, trailer tires are not balanced with weights like car tires because if the trailer weight changes it can cause the weights to vibrate off. So what trailer tire and wheel manufacturers will do is line up the heavy spot in the wheel…

Hey David, in order to pick out the correct Balance Bead kit for your wheels/tires it really comes down to the tire size that you have. If you can get me that I can let you know which kit is correct. For example, I attached a picture that has all of…

That one does not, however I have a similar wheel that does. The Aluminum AM03 Series Black Machined Trailer Wheel item #AM43NR is what you'll need for 9/16" lug studs. This wheel has a 8 on 6-1/2 lug nut pattern so it's going to work…

Hey Tyler! The Goodyear Endurance ST205/75R15 Radial Tire w/ 15" Eagle Aluminum Wheel #GY37QB does not come balanced. This is the case for almost every trailer tire. Since they're designed to support the weight of the trailer, and not…

Hey, Brent. Thanks for sharing the GVWR and hitch weight. Based on that information, yes, the Weigh Safe True Tow Weight Distribution Hitch part #WS49MR will work for your setup. One thing to keep in mind is that the 1,400 lb hitch weight rating does…

The Timbren Silent Ride #TSR14KT01 can actually be installed by welding it on or bolting it on. You could do both welding and bolt it on, but that is not really necessary. I am not sure of the bracket to move it around on the frame, but they do have…

If you want the best, it's the MORryde Rubber Equalizers for Tandem Axle Trailers part #MR87ZR. These are the best as they offer the most travel which is basically how much that rubber bushing compresses and the more it compresses, the better…

We have lift kits for trailer that easily add 2 inches to the height of the trailer. For that you'd want the part #RR23QX and you'd be set. I attached a picture that shows how it installs to give you an idea. This would be the easiest…

Hey Brian, The Goodyear Endurance ST205/75R14 Radial Tire w/ 14" Liger Aluminum Wheel #LH55VR does not come balanced (none of our 205/75-14 combos come balanced...or the vast majority of the other combos for that matter), but you can either have…

Hey Chad. The only American made trailer tires are Goodyear Endurance and we do not have many left as they've gotten too expensive and hard to reliably source. The Goodyear Endurance ST205/75R15 Radial Tire w/ 15" Eagle Aluminum Wheel - 5 on…

Special trailer tires do not really need to be given a full dynamic balance like passenger vehicle tires do, but tires on a tow dolly probably should be balanced since just these two tires will have an effect the overall handling of the dolly. I…

Hello Blake, thanks for reaching out. So trailer tires typically are not balanced the same way as vehicle tires. With trailers every wheel and tire has a high (heavy) and low (light) spot. The manufacturers offset the high spot on the tire with the…
