Hey Gary, the Goodyear Endurance ST205/75R15 Radial Tire w/ 15" Eagle Aluminum Wheel # GY37QB does not come balanced. This is the case for almost every trailer tire. Since they're designed to support the weight of the trailer, and not provide a smooth ride for passengers, it really isn't necessary. However, you can always add Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA66VR if you prefer to have balanced tires. Have you felt road vibrations through your trailer wheels before?

No, can’t say that we have noticed any. Just assumed all tires need balanced. I may have sent you the wrong info as well. I need the ST205/75R14 not 15”. I will order the beads and install before mounting on the RV. Do you offer any discounts an any time? I dont need these till Mid March if you have any discounts about to run. Thank you, Gary

@GaryD We do have a 14 inch version of this with the part # GY57QB. We don't generally have discount codes but if you check often our prices do update all the time and maybe you can get lucky?

@JamesonC After reviewing several resources including RV manufactures specs and recommendations, RV Tires need to be balanced and it’s absolutely critical. See the info below from a tech at one of the largest RV manufactures in the US. Not meant to be a jerk, just wanted you to see what I see and maybe you have info just the opposite. I know you said I could use the internal media. Anyway, for your perusal. Thanks, Gary An imbalanced tire creates a high-frequency, cyclical shock load that transmits energy through the wheel hub directly into the trailer’s running gear. This oscillation is much more destructive than a simple vertical bounce, continuously stressing parts that are not designed to absorb constant, rapid impact. Wheel bearings are particularly vulnerable to premature failure because this vibration causes oscillation that can exceed their designed tolerances, leading to heat buildup and eventual breakdown. Uncorrected imbalance subjects the axle, suspension components, and even the trailer frame to undue mechanical strain. The constant force of an out-of-balance tire, even just a few ounces off, translates to a significant dynamic load at highway speeds, accelerating the wear rate of leaf springs, shackles, and shock absorbers. Maximizing the tire’s lifespan is another benefit, as balancing prevents the irregular or choppy tread wear patterns that lead to premature replacement. Reducing this transmitted vibration also improves the overall stability of the trailer on the highway. While the tow vehicle often masks the feeling of an unbalanced trailer tire, the resulting vibration can exacerbate trailer sway and instability, especially at higher speeds. By maintaining proper balance, the entire tow rig experiences less resistance and a smoother roll, which contributes to overall towing predictability and helps prevent damage to the trailer’s contents.
