Are Kenda Karrier Trailer Wheel/Tire Combos Factory Balanced
Updated 04/25/2014 | Published 04/23/2014
Question:
Are the tires balanced upon arrival or should they be taken to a tire shop to check balance?
asked by: Dana
Expert Reply:
The wheel and tire combos we sell are not balanced at the factory. When the tire is mounted to the wheel, the high (heavy) spot on the wheel is matched to the low (light) spot on the tire, which leaves the wheel and tire somewhat balanced.
You may have the wheel/tire professionally balanced if you wish, but having perfectly balanced tires is not as important with trailer tires as it is with a passenger vehicle.
I have linked you to our Tire and Wheel help article that contains more helpful information about trailer tires.
