The Kenda 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tire with 8" Galvanized Wheel # AM30130 is not balanced as trailer tires don't require balancing like passenger tires do - this is common practice for trailers.
If you'd like to have them balanced you can either have your local trailer/tire shop do that or you can use the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA63VR to balance the tires while you're towing. Basically once you insert the beads into the tire they do all of the work for you so you don't have to think... view full answer...

There is not turning for trailer tires, so they have a stiff side wall and are balanced differently due to the way they are made. The combinations come ready for you to inflate to max tire pressure and install...nothing... view full answer...

The Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive - 2-5/16" Hitch Ball - 1,000 lbs TW # TVXL25 uses pneumatic tires. There is not a version that has solid wheels. My contact at trailer valet said they have no plans of making a version with solid wheels because it wouldn't allow the traction for movement and braking needed and the weight capacity would be greatly reduced.
The issues that some have had with the pneumatic tires is operator error. The unit has to be in motion to turn... view full answer...
Every tire and every wheel has a high (heavy) spot and a low (light) spot. When the manufacturers mount the tires on the wheels, they try to offset the tire high spot and the wheel high spot to provide some balance. However, to achieve an actual balanced tire, you would need to take them to a tire shop and have them professionally balanced. view full answer...

On the Steel Trailer Wheel # AM20006, I assume the 3 dimples you are referring to are the 3 places the wheel steps down in size. The outside largest diameter point is where the wheel is outside of the tire for a little protection of the sealing bead. The second step is where the tire bead rests and seals against the wheel to allow the air to stay pressurized without having an inner tube. The third step is down to the mounting flange to give strength and stability.
