Question:
Do trailer tires need to be balanced? the reason I asked is the tires on my trailer now I dont see any balance weights?
asked by: Don S
Helpful Expert Reply:
Trailer Tires do not require balance weights based on their design and function. They are balanced based on high point and low point of the wheel and tire being used together. The high point is marked on the tire and will be placed in line with the valve stem on the trailer wheel.
You can have them balanced using weights but you will need to use a pin plate adapter for the wheel to balance correctly as they are different that vehicle wheels. All of our combinations come ready to install and use.
The Provider ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range G # PRG80235 you asked from is a great tire and has a speed rating of up to 81 mph while having a load capacity of 4,080 lbs at 110 psi. This tire will require a metal valve like # AM20906 for over the 100 psi capacity of the tire if used with current wheels or pairing with new wheels.
