I balance my boat trailer tires and utility trailer tires. Its a high speed tire just like the tires on the pull vehicle. Having the tires in balance can only be a good thing IMO. I didn't really notice a difference because I don't ride in the trailer.

.I had half of a rear brake drum on my fver break off while on vacation last year.Could feel something wasnt right but not enough vibration to cause any concern.discovered problem while cleaning the camper up a few days later.I quess my point is If I couldnt feel a vibration with half of brake drum missing (probably weighted 8-10 pounds) then a couple of ounces of weigh isnt gonna make it difference.

I dont notice on heavy or loaded trailers but I can tell real quick if I have one out of balance on a empty flatbed trailer.For this reason started balancing camper trailer tires.
