Question:

Do these tire and wheel package come balanced? Looking for nice gloss tire for 4 place enclosed snowmobile trailer that will hold up to weight and mag chloride roads. My white steel are horrible.

Hello Jason, thanks for reaching out.

Yes, the Kenda Karrier KR53 ST205/75R15 tire with 15" black aluminum wheel # KE58JV does come balanced from the factory. Trailer tire and wheel assemblies are balanced by matching the tire’s high and low spots to the wheel, rather than using wheel weights like passenger car tires. Because of this, additional machine balancing is typically not necessary for trailer use, although some people choose to do it as an extra precaution.

The black aluminum wheels will also be a big upgrade over white steel wheels, especially on mag chloride treated roads. Aluminum wheels are far more resistant to corrosion and will hold their finish much better in harsh winter conditions. With the load capacity of this tire and wheel combo, it'll be a solid fit for a 4 place enclosed snowmobile trailer.

I am absolutely tickled to death with the tires and wheels that I purchased! They come ready to go, balanced, and ready to put on. I ended up purchasing new lug nuts and center caps and they look magnificent together! They pull like a dream too. I pull a trailer with my Can-Am defender and you can hardly tell it’s back there. The tires track straight as an arrow. I love the fact that they come as a set and I don’t have to piece them together like I would have to do if I bought locally. Thanks e-trailer. You’re the best!
