Do Trailer Tire and Wheel Combinations Come Balanced
Updated 03/30/2015 | Published 03/27/2015
Question:
I am looking at the AM3S550: Loadstar ST215/75D14 Bias Trailer Tire with 14inch White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C. Is this trailer/tire combo balanced already, or do I have to take it to a tire shop?

Expert Reply:
The wheel and tire combos that we carry, like # AM3S550, do not come balanced like a passenger vehicle would be balanced at a tire shop. What manufacturers try to do is balance the heavy spot on the tire with the light spot on the wheel. Trailer tires do not have to be balanced beyond that unless you want them to be. Any local tire shop can balance them for you. I have included a link to an FAQ article on trailer tires for you.
