All of our wheel/tire combos like the Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 16" White Wheel part # AM35099 come pre-balanced to an extent. The heavy spot on the wheel is aligned with the light spot on the tire to create a balance that is sufficient for use on trailers. They are not completely balanced and will need to be taken to a reputable shop to be zeroed out should you choose but the light/heavy spot method will be more than sufficient for most trailers.
