Hey Chris. The Westlake ST205/75R14 Radial Tire w 14" Margay Aluminum Wheel item # LH74VR is not balanced. You can have the tire and wheel combos balanced at a local tire shop if you wanted to but they would need to use a special pin plate adapter.

What our tire manufacturers do is line up the light spot on the tire with the heavy spot on the wheel. This is a type of balancing but not like how car tires are balanced with weights on a balancing machine.

We do offer Counteract Tire Balancing Beads item # CA66VR that you can add to each wheel that will balance the tire while you are driving. They are also available as a 4 Pack item # CA83VR if you are doing all 4 wheels on a tandem axle trailer.

What kind of trailer do you have?

Hey Chris, how did things go with the Westlake tire and Margay wheel setup? Did you end up using the Counteract balancing beads while driving? Your experience could help others looking for a smooth ride with similar trailer tires.
