Do Trailer Tire and Wheel Combos Come Already Balanced
Updated 03/24/2014 | Published 03/22/2014
Question:
I am assuming that these tires are balanced correct?
asked by: Mark D
Helpful Expert Reply:
Trailer tire and wheel combos are balanced like this: every tire and every wheel has a high (heavy) and low (light) spot. The manufacturers offset the high spot on the tire with the low spot on the wheel to balance them. Trailer tires do not need to be balanced beyond that.
The problem is that to balance the tires on a machine it takes a special machine and rig to do so because trailer tires and wheels are not the same as vehicle tires and wheels. Most tire places do not have this special equipment so they cannot correctly balance trailer tire and wheels beyond how they are balanced by the manufacturer.
