Expert Reply:
The Karrier ST205/75R14 Radial Trailer Tire with 14" White Wheel # AM32153 does not come balanced as it is not as important to balance trailer tires like you balance car tires. Their primary job is to support heavy loads and not providing a smooth comfortable ride like in a passenger vehicle. This is why the majority of trailers do not have shocks or cushioning suspension from the factory. This does not mean you can't have the tires balanced at a nearby tire shop.
We do have the Counteract Tire Balancing Beads # CA83VR which will provide you with enough beads to balance 4 tires. This kit includes new valve stem cores, a core removal toll and bottle which will allow you to add the beads in your own garage. The beads work to balance your tires while you drive from inside the tire. This saves you from having to have the tires rebalanced as they wear down.
