At the risk of seeming to agree with the NMed, I have purchased many new trailers of all types, 4 being RVs, and none of them came OEM with tires/wheels balanced. If I did replace tires (rarely), before buying another new trailer, I did not have them balanced. My reason...same thought as JIMNLiN back on page two.
I see friends posting here, that are somewhat adamant about balancing trailer wheels. That's OK, I'm not saying you shouldn't! However, for those willing to look back at Jim's reply on page 2 of this thread, I agree with him, concerning actual need.
I am anal about vehicle tire, and especially high performance motorcycle tires being balanced.

Did the OP ever respond after the 1st post? Couldn't entirely blame him if he didn't.
FWIW, having driven trailers of one sort or the other since '74....I don't balance the tires on the boat trailer (2 trips per year) or the sno-go trailer (dozens of trips but less than 50 miles each trip), but on the "utility" flatbed (w 16" rims), tires get checked for unusual wear at least once a year and are balanced if any issues show up...without unusual wear, they're balanced every 2 years or so.
FWIW, what the shop says does or doesn't need to be done is just one data point: if my experience or the experience of others whom I trust indicates otherwise, that indication often turns out to be an alternate data point to which I'll give more weight.

The increasingly vitriolic attacks serve no purpose, but are completely uncontrolled. Seems like some people can't post without directly attacking the person they disagree with. Maybe they need to move them all to "Around the Campfire", that'll get 'em shut down pretty quickly. ๐
I really don't like these personal attacks. I'm going to report this thread to the moderator.

You are really stupid with poor reading comprehension. The tire shops always recommended truck tire balancing and same shops said no need for TT tire balancing. You are anal about this like the loser troll Dirtdog. I feel sorry for both of you trolls and your low IQs.
Maybe you just don't understand plain English. Maybe a slow learner in school and always. No more replies to you loser trolls.
Cheers from the hot spot.
