Do the wheel and tire combos come balanced?

Hey Paul,
No, trailer tires to not come balanced. I believe we have a few outliers in the mix somewhere, but they are few and far between, plus none of them are in the 205/75-15 size you're looking at.
The Westlake ST205/75R15 Radial Tire w 15" Margay Aluminum Wheel # WST29FR you're checking out is a really nice set and as a general rule trailer tires don't need to be balanced because they are just made for carrying a heavy load without passengers.
With all of that being said, you can either have a shop balance the tires for you once you get them, or we also have the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA83VR which will balance out the tires while you're driving as well.
