Question:

Do these tire and wheel assemblies come balanced from you or do I need to take them somewhere to have them balanced?

Our tire and wheel assemblies do not come from the manufacturer balanced. This being as it is not as important to have trailer wheels balanced like it is for vehicle tires. Trailer tires main purpose is supporting heavy loads and not providing a smooth ride. This is the same reason you rarely see shock absorbers on trailers.

The tire and wheels can be balanced at a local tire shop but make sure they balance them off the lugs and not the hubs as the wheels use a lug centric mounting flange. Also linked below is our Article on Common Trailer Tire Questions.
