Trailer tires and wheels are not balanced before shipment as the weights could potentially fall off during shipment. Also, trailer tires and wheels, especially of this small size, do not typically need to be balanced and most tire shops don't have the equipment to do so.
While you will likely be fine installing Taskmaster 5.30-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Silver Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # TA26RR without any form of balancing, you could go the extra mile by adding Counteract... view full answer...
It's not required to balance trailer tires but it can help.

The Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w 15" White Mod Wheel part # TA47VR as with any trailer tire does not require balancing.

That said, if it makes you feel better you can balanced them using either stick on weights or balancing beads like the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads for Tandem Axle Trailers part # CA83VR. view full answer...

I reached out to my contact at TST and confirmed that the TST TPMS - Color Display - Signal Booster - 6 Internal Tire Sensors # TST-507-INT-6-C you were looking at will work perfectly fine with the Counteract Balancing beads you use in your tires.
This system includes 6 TMPS Sensors but you can purchase additional sensors using # TST-507-INT-S1 if your trailer/RV has more than 6 wheels. This system works with up to 110 sensors so it is great for even the largest RV or RV and trailer combination.

The reason your trailer is bouncing is because it is unloaded. When your trailer is empty, more than likely the suspension is too stiff for the load. This will cause a bumpy ride and potentially cause the trailer and tires to start bouncing. This isn't related to your tires being balanced (which is not required for trailer tires), and realistically balancing beads like the # CA86VR will not help the situation.
The best thing you can do is add weight to the trailer. Since it sounds like... view full answer...
The Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" Galvanized Wheel part # AM32397 does not come balanced. That said, this really isn't needed for trailers. There are some benefits from balancing the tires on a trailer such as reduced vibrations but they are minor and you wouldn't notice nor be able to feel a differences.
Please note, if you do choose to balance the tires you will need to make sure to use stick-on weights and not clamp-on weights as the clamp-on weights will fly off... view full answer...
We have reached out to TST about this before, and there is not an issue using the internal TPMS sensors included in the TST TPMS # TST34FR you were looking at with the balancing beads in your tires.
This is a great option to allow you to monitor the air pressure and heat build up in the tires of your vehicle or trailer, giving you added peace of mind while on road trips.
I included a video of the # TST34FR for you to take a look at. view full answer...
In order to roughly balance the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel part # AM20535 to a trailer tire like the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10303 you'll want to line up the light spot on the wheel which is where the valve stem hole is with the heavy spot on the tire which is usually indicated by a red dot. If you want to balance further, you can use some tire balancing beads like the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads for Tandem Axle Trailers part # CA83VR. That said, machine... view full answer...
We do not offer tire balancing at this time nor do our wheel and tires come pre-balanced. Most people do not balance trailer wheel and tires like the part # AM31959 but if you really wanted that you could use the Counteract Balancing Beads part # CA66VR which install easily and self balance the tires. view full answer...
Actually trailer tires don't normally get balanced so typically it's not an issue but in general radial tires are better overall so if you were considering a radial I would recommend that highly. Trailer tires and wheels are marked where the heavy and light points are so what the people who mount them will do is line those up properly and you get a balanced enough setup. In general people who go ahead and balance trailer tires don't notice a difference.

If your RV or trailer has a flat tire, call the help line and a technician will come change the flat for you. You can call 24 hours a day, 7... view full answer...
The 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 really wanted to though.
What some 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).
