Trailer wheel balancing

[thecdnmole]

Does anyone get their tire/wheels balanced when putting new tires on? Generally on trailers I have not seen this done, but it would make sense so it makes for a smoother ride in RV. Thanks in advance for your responses!

Be sure to look at inside of rims if you haven't do so already.

I didn't see any on mine when I got new tires. I looked at my bill and it said "balancing was included" Called tire place sort of mad. They said to look at inside of rims. Sure enough, tire weights were the "stick on" type on the inside of rim. Unlike what my other vehicles were.

Be aware that some/many trailer wheels are lug centric and not hub centric like the TV. A special adapter is needed for lug centric wheels.

Certainly, plus balancing is included at Discount Tire with tire mounting and installation anyway why not take advantage of it.
