At least for trailer tires you don't have to balance. Why I've never figured out, never seen a trailer with unbalanced tires (but plenty of cars and trucks).
Balancing trailer tires can make a huge difference in how long they last. Just because you can't feel it, they can easily be 4 oz out of balance, and bounce merrily down the road slowly but surely wearing flat spots all over from skipping.
