The Taskmaster Provider ST175/80R13 Trailer Tire w/ Wheel, # TA43RR, are not machined balanced.

What some 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.

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.
