Adjusting trailer tongue weight for the best handling of your boat.

And if you have some tires that are not wearing even, check the axle position to make sure it is (still) square?

Another tip to help with having a smooth ride and less wear for your Boat / Truck when going 60 plus MPH, is to ensure your boat trailer tires are also balanced just like you do for your automotive tires.

Along these same lines regardless of the application, if you need a lot of weight to balance any tire and rim combo, you have found the high spots on both. Simply break the tire down and twist the tire 180 degrees on the rim with it not moving (thus getting the high spots of the combo at opposite ends) and that should help. Once that is done and refilled to the correct PSI, now have it put back on the balance machine and you should find it no longer needs a weight the size of a Boat Anchor to smooth it out ;)
