Tire balancing
I passed a Rockwood TT last week on I-95. It was probably around 24-26' long and looked fairly new.
I noticed the left front tire on the trailer was bouncing up & down due to static imbalance, I mean really bouncing.
I could only imagine what stress this was causing to the tire, suspension, frame, and anything inside the trailer. I know tires don't come balanced from the factory.
With most trailers coming with China bombs already, a tire out of balance can really lead to premature and catastrophic damage. I strongly recommend having your tires balanced, even if they are China bombs; and definitely if you install a new set of tires; and maintain the proper air pressures.
Just my 3 cents. Thank you and now I'll step down off my soap box and go smoke a cigar...
