Question:

Question on your trailer wheel and tire combos on the radial combo do you balance them?

Expert Reply:

Our trailer wheel and tire combos come from the manufacturer mounted. As trailer tires do not require balancing most manufacturers will not balance their tire packages like the Kenda Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Black Mod Wheel # AM32424.

I have linked one of our articles below that discuses why trailer tires are not required to be balanced.

We do offer Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA66VR that you can add to each wheel that will balance the tire while you are driving. They are also available as a 4 Pack # CA83VR if you are doing all 4 wheels on a tandem axle trailer.

If you do ever have wheels and tires shipped as a package even if they come balanced I do recommend having them checked for balance as I have seen wheel weights fall off during shipment.
