Re: Balance your trailer tires?
Most empty trailers will ride like they don't have springs, that's because the suspension is so stiff for hauling loads. I've seen empty double semi trailers "bounce" several inchs off the interstate surface!
I've looked in the mirror and seen my trailer bounce off the ground when empty! If I role my window down when driving through town I can hear it back there going "BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM".
To answer your question: I mounted retreads on my flatbed and did NOT ballance them, now I've replaced 2 of them and the shop balanced those, I can't tell a differance.
Seriosly, you and the wife have neck/back pain from this? I've hauled my flat bed 750 miles non stop empty behind my dodge 1/2 ton and didn't have a problem.
