Are Tire and Wheel Combinations Mounted, Balanced, and Ready for Use Straight Out of the Box?
Question:
does this ship with the tire mounted and balanced, ready for use?

Expert Reply:
The Contender Radial Trailer Tire # TA24VR you were looking at will come mounted, but not balanced like a typical car tire because it isn't necessary, they will be ready for use straight out of the box after receiving them.
The Provider tire and wheel combos we carry are not machined balanced. You can have the tire and wheel combos balanced at a local tire shop if you wanted to.
What manufacturers will do is line up the light spot on the tire with the heavy spot on the wheel. This is a type of balancing but not like how car tires are balanced (with weights on a balancing machine).
