Expert Reply:

When you purchase a pre-mounted tire/wheel combination from etrailer these items came from the manufacturer already joined. They are not given a full dynamic balance as you would find on a set of new automobile tires, but they are mounted in such as way that the tire's low spot is matched up to the wheel's high spot. This provides a degree of balancing that is perfectly adequate for trailer tires,

Always keep your trailer tires fully inflated to the cold tire pressure indicated on the tire sidewall.

For reference I have linked a helpful article on trailer tires.
