Hey Scott. The Kenda Karrier KR53 ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Silver Mod Wheel item # KE44WV comes 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.

The Kenda Karrier KR53 ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Silver Mod Wheel - 6 on 5-1/2 item # KE44WV is a load range E tire with a 2,860 lbs capacity. It has a speed rating of M, which tops out at 81 mph. The silver 15" x 6" wheel has a 6 on 5-1/2 lug pattern.

You can use the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads Single Pack for Trailers item # CA66VR to keep your tires balanced. These easily install thru the valve stem and use centrifugal force to balance the tire as you drive.

What kind of trailer do you have?

Hey Scott, how did the Kenda Karrier tire and wheel combo work out on your trailer? Did the balance feel smooth once you got it mounted? Your feedback could help others looking at the same setup.
