ALL my Trailer tires 14" and larger are balanced.
Travel trailers should be a no brainier...do you want your home goods, fancy cabinetry, and numerous other sensitive items subject to constant vibration at speed?
There there is tire life. There's something about a balanced tire that lasts a lot longer than one is not. Simple logic, right? Well, I guess if doesn't make sense to you, then just Google it! Heck, IMO there is something behind tire balancing and the numerous blow outs we here of. Think about it...
And about shocks on trailers with leaf springs. I installed my first set ever on my TT and the difference is dramatic. I'd say it tows the same from a driver perspective, but from EVERY OTHER PERSPECTIVE the trailer is rock solid. No bounce what-so-ever. The trailer looks GLUED to the road when towing at every speed.
