Legally speaking, there is no reason to balance your trailer tires and wheels. After all, no one is allowed to ride in a trailer that is being towed.
Legalities aside though, balancing your trailer tires and wheels can be one of the
smartest things you do.
Trailer tire assemblies are not normally balanced in the factory, meaning that it’s quite possible that your trailer is in for a bumpy ride. Every pothole and crack in the road is going to shake it to its foundation. Naturally, that means that anything inside your trailer is also going to take a beating. What what you should be especially concerned about is how that bumpy ride is going to impact the trailer tires over the long haul.
Balancing your trailer tires with the wheels of your vehicle insures less vibration and a smoother ride. Tires wear more evenly and develop less worn, flat spots. Balancing also helps prevent wear and tear on bearings and extends the life of your tires.
Although the choice is ultimately yours, many drivers claim to feel a marked difference after their trailer tires have been balanced with their wheels. And doesn’t a smooth ride sound more pleasant?
