Does the Karrier ST235/85R16 Radial Trailer Tire with 16 inch Aluminum Wheel Come Balanced
Question:
Does this tire and wheel come balanced and does it come with stainless steel lug nuts.

Expert Reply:
The Karrier ST235/85R16 tire and wheel combination, # AM32734, is received from our supplier with the tire mounted on the wheel, the supplier does not balance the combination, but when the tire is installed on the wheel they will line the high (heavy) spot on the tire with the low (light) spot on the wheel. This does not completely balance the tire and wheel combination but it does eliminate any excessive out of balance condition.
In most cases this method of lining up the high and low spots will be just fine for any trailer application. If a you feel that further balancing is needed, you would need to take the wheel and tire combination to a competent tire shop that can balance wheels and tires.
The Karrier ST235/85R16 tire and wheel combination, # AM32734, does not come with any type of lug nuts. if your trailer hub uses 1/2 inch 20 lug nuts then you would need a bulge seat lug nut for the aluminum wheel. We have the Chrome Trailer Wheel Lug Nuts, # 12CLN, and # 12CLN-L which is my recommendation. We also have the stainless steel capped trailer wheel lug nut # AM90070, which has a standard plated nut underneath the stainless steel cap.
If your trailer has 9/16 inch or 5/8 inch wheel studs in the hubs, we do not stock a lug nut for those size studs that will work with the aluminum wheels.
