Do Trailer Wheels and Tires Need to be Balanced

Question:
Just received 13inch tires and rims. Look great but my question is do I need to have them balanced before putting on my pop-up ?

Expert Reply:
Most people do not balance trailer wheels and tires. The reason is that most people don't ever notice a difference after doing so, and because the weights tend to bounce off of trailer wheels since they have such bouncier suspension.
However, if you felt the need to balance yours there's no reason you couldn't.
