Expert Reply:
The Kenda Karrier ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" Silver Mod Wheel # AM32418DX do not require balancing. Trailer tires are generally never balanced as it is not necessary. I have included an article linked below on common tire myths for trailer tires and balancing is the first one.
Tires are balanced on a car to provide a smooth ride, the same reason cars have shocks. Trailers do not require these kind of comfort items as they are designed to ride behind the vehicle and carry heavy loads.
If you decide that you wish to have the tires balanced you will want to ensure they are lug centrically balanced as that is how they will mount on your trailer axle. Most shops will only hub centrically balance a tire on the wheel.
