Does Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire & 13 Galvanized Wheel Come Balanced
Question:
Does the tire/wheel assembly Item # AM32001HWTB come pre-balanced, or does this need to be done before installing? This would be for a 2015 Jayco 1207 popup camper.

Expert Reply:
Trailer tires do not come pre-balanced, so you would need to do so with the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 13" Galvanized Wheel # AM31994.
Having said that, it isn't necessary to balance trailer tires as they track behind a vehicle instead of controlling its movement, but if you wanted to balance them you certainly could. An easy way to do that is with balancing beads that you can inject into the valve stem, the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads for Tandem Axle Trailers - 4 Tires # CA83VR or Single Pack # CA66VR.
Apart from that, the only other thing I wanted to mention is that if you need lug nuts, the correct part is the Trailer Wheel Lug Nut # 12CLN.
