Do I Need to Balance the Tires on My Livestock Trailer
Question:
Would it be necessary to balance tires on a livestock trailer?

Helpful Expert Reply:
Because trailer tires like the Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Tire # TR225LRE are designed more with carrying a vertical load in mind, as opposed to gripping the road through turns as an automobile tire would, dynamic balancing of your trailer tires isn't a huge concern. Steering and cornering are of much less concern with a trailer than they are with an automobile.
With that being said, you can have your trailer tires balanced if you desire. Wheel and tire combinations like the ST 225/75r15 Tire with Wheel combos come directly from the factory balanced so that the tire's light spot mated to the wheel's heavy spot. This provides a degree of balance comparable to beads-which is mostly used on heavy equipment. But neither the light/heavy matching nor the beads will produce a tire/wheel that is as well-balanced as one that has actually been given a machine-operated dynamic balance like new automobile tires always get when purchased.
