Can 5.70-8 Bias Trailer Tires be Balanced
Question:
I know that these small wheels arent easy to balance. Ive had limited success static balancing using a spare hub and a motorcycle truing stand. Can you share any thoughts on the subject? Thanks!

Yes, trailer tires can be difficult to balance without the proper equipment. A tire shop would have the best chance and balancing them. Since ride quality isn't a concern on trailer tires they do not have to be balanced. Usually manufacturers will line up the heavy spot in the tire with the light spot in the wheel for a quick and easy balancing. Beyond that the best option is a tire shop.
