Question:
I take it i need to get these wheels and tires balanced as there are no weights on any of them? Odds of none of them needing them is slim to none! Thanks

Expert Reply:
Trailer tires like the # LHAW124 do not need to be balanced for proper performance since their main responsibility is supporting the trailer, not providing a smooth ride. If you want to get them balanced you can, but it is not something that is required. If you would like to balance them you could always add Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA28VR. These will continuously and automatically readjust the balance of your trailer tires.
I have attached a helpful article on trailer tires which also includes this information for your reference.
