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?
