Do the Tire and Wheel Combinations Come Balanced
Question:
The rims with mounted tires, are they balanced or do you recommend them to be balanced once received? Thank you
asked by: Chris
Expert Reply:
Our tire and wheel combos, like the Taskmaster Provider ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 14" White Spoke Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR C # TTWA14RWS, do not need to be balanced. They already come with the high, or heavy, spot on the wheel lined up with the low, or light, spot on the tire.
Although this isn't perfectly balanced, it will do just fine for a trailer since it isn't as crucial for trailer tires to be balanced like automotive tires are.
With that being said, if you would like to balance the tires once they are purchased, there is no harm in doing so. The only time that we highly recommend getting the tire balanced is if you were to purchase just the tire, part # TR20514, and have it mounted to a pre-existing wheel.
