| I don't know how you'll get that bounce to go away. My F-250 bounces too on the bumps when empty when the tires are at 80 PSI in the back. It helps to lower PSI, but it rides pretty harsh no matter what. Like my F-250, you're boat trailer has mono-beam axles with stiff springs to hold the load. Take the load off, and well you get what you have. It's annoying, but probably isn't really an issue. Balancing will help with vibrations for sure....I've never elected to not get a trailer tire balanced - I guess that's unusual when hearing folks chime in. |

I, too, have always had my trailer tires balanced. The last time I got new tires, the counter guy looked at me and said "We don't usually balance trailer tires. They don't need it" I told him I wanted mine done. Went and got him when they were doing mine and showed him the weights. Told him that part should be free since they didn't really need it.

| Guess I'm in the camp of never balancing trailer tires. Just not worth the cost to me. Colby |
