Does Westlake ST205/75R14 Tire And Wheel Come Balanced

Question:

Does this tire and rim package come pre-balanced for high speed or will I need to take them somewhere to have that done?

The Westlake ST205/75R14 Radial Tire w/ 14" Wheel # LH37VR does not come balanced but this is certainly something you could have done at a local tire shop if desired. Typically though trailer tires don't need to be balanced like standard passenger vehicle tires and doing so may not provide any benefit.

This Westlake tire does have a maximum speed rating of 75 mph but the tire and wheel doesn't need to be balanced to maintain this rating.
