I didn't know trailer tires aren't balanced. Why is that?

Whats up big Jon, you balance the tires on Mama's BMW don't you? same principle, a flat running tire promotes a good wear pattern, no dips or chops. Have you seen a tire where half the tire looks good and the other half seems to have disappeared?
BTW,, Do you still have the Formula?

Ck your tongue weight,the springs would be a good idea anyway.

I balance my trailer tires,I don't want it shaking my boat.99 % prob don't balance.Porb a waste of money,I have a buddy with a tire machine,The tires will rot before ya wear it out for non balancing.But it has the torsion axles. My Hallmark trailer,3 dexter torsion axles,it ride better than my truck,everything stays on the cabinets ,drunk buddy even left a half full beer on it ,i couldn't believe it didn't even move.

Some roads have dips in them, mine will get into a rhythm bounce,a car would do the same also,just in the road,

However, I will request that they put them on the balance machine and make sure that they are not WAY off. If so, I'll have them rotate the tire around the wheel 90 or 180 degrees to get them somewhat better.
I receive a mag called Tire review,Its for tire shops/dealers,One I was reading had a tech article about balancing, If the tire requires over 2 1/2 ounces, the tire has a bad spot in it,on the larger truck tires it was 3, I had some that wanted 5 you could spin them on the truck and see a large hump,this was a new Goodyear dually tire,It balanced out OK,But you could feel the hump the truck,vibration.

4 of them,and need another, they are Goodyear silent armor ats lt235 85 r16, They must be off on the quality,Nothing but a pain in the azz!!,I would of carried them all back except im buying the wholesale thru a buddy,I'm pushing my luck on exchanging all on them,They were suppose to be the new greatest ats tire.I have these custom wheels that have to have this special tool to balance them,it only comes as a kit to fit all wheels,Usually thet watch me do the balancing,Ill never buy wheels like this again.One shop said they had it and wouldnt let me help,they bought to new rims after that.
