Do Trailer Wheel and Tires Need to be Balanced
Question:
Is it recommended that your trailer tires be balanced before using? I see no mention of that in your advertising. Considering purchasing 2 of these 12X5.3 tires for a 2005 Fleetwood Tucson camper.

Trailer wheel and tires don't really need to be balanced. Some people go ahead and still do it but the benefits are hard to notice and since trailers suspension is pretty harsh the weights typically end up bouncing off. I wouldn't mess with it honestly. I'd just mount the # AM30859 to your trailer and you'd be good!
