Question:

Is somewhat balanced and useable your description what most people go with. I agree its not as important as it is on a vehicle, but is not balancing trailer tires the norm ? My 2008 JAYCO OCTANE 21X Toyhauler needs four of your 225 75 R15 tires and modular wheels.

Expert Reply:

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.

What some 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). This is the norm for nearly all trailers on the road.

If you have a 6 bolt pattern the best option we have for a 225/75R15 mounted on a mod wheel is the part # LHAW124. If you have a 5 lug pattern instead you'd want the # A225R645WM and you'd be set. Both of these have higher than typical speed ratings and will work well.
