Hi, Does anyone get their trailer wheels balanced ? Guess this seems odd, but considering the vibration that you get through your steering on your vehicle when the wheels are out of balance, couldn't this vibration going through your wheel bearings and axle cause excessive wear on the bearings?

Just a thought....

Nope, tires and rimes are made more uniformed today. Plus, most boaters/drivers will not go over 55 or 60 MPH down the highway. If your the type that trailers every weekend and puts 300 plus miles, I just might have it done. But for those going 5 to 10 miles, more local, I would not spend the money.
