I'm also an advocate of balancing your trailer tires as I describe in this video
Most trailer rims are NOT hub centric, rather they are lug centric.
What this means is that the large hole in the center is only roughly centered. And it should not be used to mount it to the balancing machine. The shop needs to use a lug plate adaptor in order to balance the tires. Not doing this can actually make them more out of balance than they were before.
Tire shops hate to do this. You gotta ask, and then watch them to be sure they do it. Twice I have caught them not doing it.
Now that's handy info, I'll keep it in mind
