A perfectly balanced tire on an imperfectly balanced running gear doesn't stop trailer destruction- beads do!
If you wonder whether your rig is/ isn't shaking, check the refer door bins to see if you have beverage can rash on the plastics!
There's an old thread discussing use of beads. What's good enough for big-rigs logging millions of miles is good enough for me!
I use golf balls just like the 'big rigs'....... NOT.

NOTHING goes inside the tires.

I road force & use Centramatics

Couple hundred bucks for permanent POM...is well worth it IMHO.
