Tire balance.... not so much.
Mounting a balanced tire/wheel assy on a trailers hub that is not balanced doesn't do much.
Doesn't do much in terms of what? IMO it can only improve things or wont be noticed. It sure wont make ANY condition worse!
More importantly, consider what is furthest from center and has the highest mass. The answer to both is the wheel and tire.
Sure, the drum and hub *might* not be balanced (I'm not convinced they are not) but being smaller, lighter, and much closer to center, I'm not concerned. Nor would this leave to believe I should not balance trailer tires at this point.
