Helpful Expert Reply:

Most wheel wheel/tire assemblies come pre-balanced to an extent that is suitable for use on non-steer axles. This is done by matching the light spot on the tire (yellow dot) with the heavy spot on the wheel (valve stem). However, if you would like for the assmelby to be balanced down to the 1/4 oz then you would need to take it to a wheel/tire shop but this is not really needed for trailers.
