Unbalanced tires

My new Momentum 31G toy hauler came with unbalanced tires. Not a single weight on any of the four tires. Anyone else experience this?

None of them come balanced, from any towable manufacturer as far as I know

I wonder why. Thanks for the reply.

That's normal, I don't think necessary but you can search on this forum for a variety of perspectives.

Money. Everything is about money.

“Since the primary duty of a trailer tire is supporting a vertical load, rather than gripping an automobile through turns, trailer tires do not have to be dynamically balanced like passenger car tires do.” NATM

I always have mine balanced. To me it is a much smother ride and is easier on the suspension and causes less wear on all parts.

What??? Any tire that spins should be balanced. Have you ever seen a tire bouncing vertically on the highway? There could be other factors (out of round, bad or non existent shock absorbers, etc). Thanks for the questionable quote but my tires will always be balanced.

I think the quote is correct and not questionable. They don't have to be balanced but that doesn't mean that you shouldn't.
No trailer (RV, boat, utility) I've ever seen came with balanced tires.

And if you do have them balanced, they need to be done hub centric and not wheel centric (I forget why!). Not every place that does balancing can do it correctly.
