Hey Brian, welcome back! Yes the Kenda Karrier KR35 ST185/80R13 LRC Radial Trailer Tire w/ 13" Black AM09 Wheel # KE39TJ that you referenced is pre-mounted but it is not balanced. Generally speaking people don't balance trailer tires as it doesn't make a noticeable difference in the vehicle. Plus the balance weights have a tendency to fall off trailer wheels easier.
Now with that said we have Balance Beads like the part # CA28VR which you can put into the tire and it will balance the tire as you drive.
