Yes, the Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" Silver Mod Wheel item # TA43ZR does come mounted. Those tires are not balanced and do not need to be because they are trailer tires. You can have your trailer tires balanced if you wish, but this isn't required. When cruising the highway in your passenger vehicle, you're more likely to feel the vibrations from unbalanced vehicle tires, so vehicle tires are dynamically balanced using a machine and weights. Trailer tires are different in that their main responsibility is supporting a load behind a tow vehicle, not providing a smooth ride for passengers.
