Do Trailer Tire and Wheels Come Balanced
Updated 04/27/2016 | Published 04/24/2016
Question:
Are the trailer trailer tire/wheel combinations balanced?
asked by: Jim
Expert Reply:
The tire and wheel combos we carry are not machined balanced. You can have the tire and wheel combos balanced at a local tire shop if you wanted to.
What our tire manufacturers will do is line up the light spot on the tire with the heavy spot on the wheel. This is a type of balancing but not like how car tires are balanced (with weights on a balancing machine). This will be suitable for trailer applications.
