My 300C (and several other 5th wheels from other manufacturers that I'm directly aware of) hasn't a single wheel weight to be found anywhere. This leads me to the conclusion that the wheel/tires were not balanced before leaving the factory.
Why not?
Yes, I know that nobody is riding back there, but it's always been my understanding that you balanced wheels for a number of reasons (ride comfort, lessen steering and suspension wear, lessen uneven tire wear, to name the reasons I know of).
But, if none of the manufacturers are balancing, that makes me wonder if there is a reason. Personally, I see no harm in balancing, and was considering trying Dyna-Beads, since it's something I can do myself.
Any input?
Thanks!
