Tire Balance Beads

[JWhitcomb]

I was looking at the recent thread on the subject and could not find a specific post on my problem. I have a tire on my boat trailer that is wearing very uneven and was wondering if anyone has experiance with the beads on a boat trailer? While I am asking, I also have a seal leaking and need to replace it. Any way to tell what p/n I need before taking off the wheel and pulling the seal?

I'm sure the beads can be used on trailer tires, whether or not balance is the cause of your tire wear is another question though.

Well, I pulled the wheels and tires off and to my surprise they have been balanced in the past. I am going to get them balanced tomorrow but from the wear pattern I think I have some other problem. For now a balance, side switch and new seals will have to do.
