Expert Reply:

The tire and wheel combos we carry like the part # AM31985 are not machined balanced. You can have the tire and wheel combos balanced at a local tire shop if you wanted to.

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).
