Expert Reply:

The Kenda Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Tire w/ 14" Series T09 Aluminum Wheel # AM34659 does not come balanced. Trailer tires do not require balancing like vehicle wheels and tires since their primary function is weight supporting. As it is an aluminum wheel only stick on weights should be used if you plan to take them to a tire shop to have balanced.

We do have the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads available in a Single # CA66VR or 4-Pack # CA83VR. These beads allow the tire to always be balanced as the beads will find the light spot in the tire. Since they are not fixed in one place they will adapt as the tire wears to ensure proper balance and increase tire life.
