Trailer tires are typically not balanced. The most important factor is weather they have been crushed for shipping. The cheapest chinese tires are squeezed flat in piles of 10 for compact shipping. They often have issues with running straight and run hot.
Carlisle likely has better quality control and shipping procedures.
The rims you see pre mounted are for convinience of the guy that just wants to run out and get new assembles to bolt on and go. Any good tire shop should be able to get you a set of carlisle tires and mmount them. I run all of mide at less than the max pressure. some of the 8" tires call for 60-80 psi. At that pressure they bounce all over. I run 45-50, but my boat are no where near the weight limit of the tires.
