Do Trailer Tire and Wheel Combos Come Already Balanced

Question:
Im looking into buying the tire and wheel combination for my trailer. Do they come pre-balanced? Thank you

Expert Reply:
On the tire and wheel combos that we carry, such as # AM3H480, the manufacturer tries to offset the heavy spot on the wheel with the light spot on the tire for balancing.
It takes a special rig to balance trailer tires and wheels that most tire shops do not have access to. This is due in part to how much wheels have changed over the years. The current machines cannot hold trailer wheels properly to ensure they are balanced.
Another factor is that trailer wheels do not have to be balanced, though if they were balanced to the extent of passenger vehicle tires the trailer would have a better overall ride. But you may not even notice it.
