Balancing Trailer Tires - yes or no

After reading this thread and others on the internet, it seems the simple solution is adding balance beads to the tire. That would eliminate worries about the drums, wheels, and how they are balanced. Or am I misunderstanding something about the beads?

I have been using balance beads in my trailer tires and my truck and they work very well.

I do have them balanced first to take care of the dynamic portion of the balance then the beads do the fine tuning of the static balance.

I also insist that the trailer tires be balanced using a lug plate.
