Do Trailer Wheel and Tire Combos Come Pre Balanced

Published 09/22/2016

Question:

If I were to purchase tires and wheels from you, would they come mounted and balanced? Also, would you be able to tell me why the Provider tires are better then the Taskmaster? Thank you in advance for your answer.

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 and all that is required for trailer tires but is not like how car tires are balanced (with weights on a balancing machine).

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 as long as they have a pin plate adapter.

When available I actually recommend the Taskmaster tire and wheel combos as they have higher speed ratings that Provider.
