Do Trailer Tire and Wheel Combinations Come Balanced From the Factory?
Question:
Can you balance these tires before shipping
asked by: Paul.
Expert Reply:
Because tire/wheel combos like the Kenda 4.80-12 Bias Trailer Tire with 12" Galvanized Wheel # AM30590 are assembled by the manufacturer, they do come with a certain amount of balancing already done when they are matched up; the high spot of the wheel is usually matched with the low spot on the tire. Since we do not have the ability to balance tires in our warehouse, we rely on them to complete this task. Since trailer tires are meant to handle a vertical load more-so than they are relied upon for steering and turning, they do not require the same balancing that passenger vehicle tires do.
