If it goes around in circles it should be balanced in my view

X2. Just because I can't feel it vibrating doesn't mean it isn't shaking the trailer apart.

I strongly believe in balancing ST Tires or for that matter any RV tires.
The trailers bounce around so just imagine tires bouncing up and down when not balanced.

Besides, The quality of ST tires is so questionable, they need every break they can get.

Very cheap way to increase the life of the tires, suspension, and prevent upsetting the insides of the TT

I agree, always get mine done, and metal valve stems installed also.

When I put new Maxxis on our rig I had them balanced...all four I think was $20.
I'll gladly waste the $20.
