Yes, The very first time after mounting them, maybe 5K miles, is the worst out of balance. After that it just slightly out of balance, slight movement and weight change. But as you wear the tire with normal wear, it less each time. Only a few times have I had it where one of the tires was in balance.

I think is has to do with the new tires getting worn smooth and the weight of the rubber that is lost. A few times the weight is moved quite a distance form the original location and much change in the weight. One time I had a large weight removed and required no weights at all.

I have had my tire guy for 25+ years rotate and spin balance my tires on all my cars every 7K. They are almost always out of balance. I get exceptional wear out of my tires. Current TV tires has about 50K on them and i'm at about 65% of the tread.

I have played with the idea of rotating the camper tires, but keep thinking that changing the rotation on ST tires might not be good.?
