Question:

I'm looking to swap my 20.5x8-10 wheels and tires on my pontoon trailer for st145/80r12 for long road trips. I do have clearance for the extra increase in tire height. I'm interested in the load range e tire AM10140.Can I get it on a wheel and tire combo. Id prefer wheel AM22319HWT instead of LH45FR. Do you offer this option or would I need to purchase separately. Also curious if your packages come balanced? Thanks.

As we don't have the equipment necessary to mount tires to the rims, we don't sell the # AM10140 tire mounted on a wheel, but you can purchase the # AM10140 and the # AM22319HWT wheel you asked about separately. You'd need to have them mounted at your local tire shop when they arrive.

The wheel/tire combos we sell aren't balanced in the traditional sense. When the tires are mounted to the rims, the high (heavy) spot on the wheel is matched to the low (light) spot on the tire, which leaves the wheel and tire somewhat balanced. You may have the wheel/tire professionally balanced if you wish, but having perfectly balanced tires is not as important with trailer tires as it is with a passenger vehicle, since a trailer doesn't have steering axles. Also, the weights tend to bounce off during travel.
