Expert Reply:
The tire and wheel combos we carry like the part # LHAW121 are not machined balanced. You can have the tire and wheel combos balanced at a local tire shop if you wanted to. This is not needed on trailers like it is on cars.
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).
