Are Kenda Tire and Wheel Combinations Balanced?
Question:
Are the wheel and tire combinations balanced, or should I still have to have a tire shop balance them?

Expert Reply:
The Kenda Bias Trailer Tire # AM30140 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 Kenda 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).
