Is it Necessary to Balance a Trailer Tire/Wheel Before Use
Question:
Was wondering if I need to balance tires before use or if they already are ?

Helpful Expert Reply:
The tire/wheel combinations that we sell, such as Loadstar ST225/75D15 Bias Trailer Tire with 15-inch White Wheel # AM3S870, are not fully dynamically balanced like an automobile tire/wheel. However, when mounted together the tire's low spot and the wheel's high spot are matched. This provides a degree of balancing but it is not the same as a true dynamic balance like what a tire shop does when they mount a new tire to one of your car's wheels.
Trailer tires are less sensitive to balance issues than auto tires and so our combination trailer tire/wheel products can be installed on your trailer as is. You certainly could have them dynamically balanced if you wish but this is not absolutely necessary for trailer application.
