Does a tire rim combo come balanced?

Expert Reply:

No, they do not Nick. The Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" Aluminum Wheel item # KE93JR you were looking at is received from the supplier already with the tire mounted on the wheel. The supplier does not balance the combination, but when the tire is installed to the wheel they will line the high (heavy) spot on the tire with the low (light) spot on the wheel. This does not completely balance the tire and wheel combination but it does eliminate any excessive out of balance condition.

We do offer balance beads if you would like to have them added to these wheels and tires. These beads are inserted through your valve stem and continuously move around to keep your wheels and tires balanced.

We have them in a single pack with the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads Single Pack Item # CA64FR and a 4-pack with the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads Four Pack item # CA35FR.

What kind of trailer do you have?
