I have not ever had them balanced. I have not ever had aluminum wheels on a RV. Until this rv. When I get new tires soon. I am going to have them balanced. Already have full metal stems.
Here is a challenge for someone who has a gopro camera. Pull a RV without balanced tires a few miles on a highway with a camera in the trailer. Lets see what it looks like regarding bounce. Repeat same speeds, same road balanced tires. I think it will be smoother. I also believe TT and 5ers should have shocks just as cars for the same reason. Control of the bounce caused by the springs. It seems RV makers think it costs to much or it does not matter.
