Our wheel and tire packages like the Karrier ST175/80R13 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 13" White Mini Mod Wheel # AM31991 come from the manufacturer mounted. As trailer tires do not require balancing the manufacturer will not balance the tires.

While we do not have the equipment to balance tires you can easily add the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA83VR that will balance the tires for you as you drive. The kit includes enough beads to balance up to 4 of your tires.

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…

We have an aluminum 7 spoke 14 inch trailer wheel that looks pretty close to the wheel in the picture you sent us, but it's not an exact match. For that wheel you would want the part #AM22329. For a 205/75R14 you can use #AM10234 or tire #AM10229…
