Question:
do u guys balance the tires u sell
asked by: Chip
Expert Reply:
The wheel/tire products we sell come from the distributor already mounted together. These wheel/tire items are not dynamically balanced on machinery the way a passenger vehicle tire is because trailer tires do not need to be as well balanced as vehicle tires do. You certainly could have your trailer tires dynamically balanced but it is not necessary.
When our suppliers join a tire and wheel they do match up the high spot on the tire to the low spot on the wheel. This provides a degree of balancing that is fine for trailer tires.
