Question:
Do your tire and rims, come already well balanced, or would I have to take them to a tire shop, to get them balanced?

Expert Reply:
Hey Paul, our trailer wheel and tire combos like the Westlake ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire # 274-000053 that you referenced are not balanced. People generally don't balance trailer wheel and tires because it doesn't seem to make a difference. Also because of the rougher trailer suspension the wheel weights end up falling off a lot. Now with that said we do have balance beads that you install through the valve stem with the part # CA66VR if you still wanted to have them balanced internally.
Have you had issues with unbalanced trailer wheels in the past?
