Does Tire and Wheel on Tow Dolly Need to be Balanced
Question:
Hello. Going to order tires st205/7514 from you. However will need to get them mounted here. They are going on Demco Tow Dolly. Do they need to be balanced? Thanks

Expert Reply:
What tire mounters will do with trailer wheels and tires 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).
You can have yours balanced if you want but you most likely wouldn't feel the difference.
In your tire size of 205/75-14 I would go with the part # 274-000012 as it's a radial which means it will ride better and it as a 75 speed rating which is higher than most trailer tires which are only rated for 65 mph.
