Is There a Mark on the Dexstar 15" Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel for Balancing
Question:
When mounting tires, are these wheels marked dimple, sticker, etc so as to line up the red dot on the tire, or do we use the default method of lining up the valve stem with red dot on the tire?

Expert Reply:
In order to roughly balance the Dexstar Steel Spoke Trailer Wheel part # AM20535 to a trailer tire like the Karrier ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire part # AM10303 you'll want to line up the light spot on the wheel which is where the valve stem hole is with the heavy spot on the tire which is usually indicated by a red dot. If you want to balance further, you can use some tire balancing beads like the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads for Tandem Axle Trailers part # CA83VR. That said, machine balancing is not really worth the added cost as it does not provide substantial benefits for trailers.
If you can let me know what size tires you have, I'd be glad to make a specific recommendation or you can take a pick from our selection below.
