Question:
Greetings, Are your tire/wheel assemblies balanced or would I need to take them to a shop to have them balanced prior to installation. Thanks.

Hello Dave, thanks for reaching out. All of the trailer tires we sell come balanced in the manner that trailer tires are balanced. 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. They are not spun on a machine like car tires.
That being said, some people do still take them to a shop and have them balanced. This is more out of an abundance of caution and safety than anything. I agree it can help but is not necessary. Also, not every tire shop has the ability or equipment to balance trailer tires.
An easier and more cost-effective way of adding balance to your trailer is by using balancing beads like part # CA66VR. These easily install thru the valve stem and use centrifugal force to balance the tire as you drive.
What size tires do you have? And how many? Reply on this page.
