Platinum Plus Warranty with Roadside Assistance
This tire-and-wheel assembly comes with a Platinum Plus warranty that includes complimentary roadside assistance for 2 years. If your trailer has a flat tire, call the help line and a technician will come change out the flat tire with your existing inflated spare tire. The service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition to the roadside assistance, this warranty also includes other benefits and services.
Durable Acrylic Enamel Finish
The wheel on this assembly has a durable acrylic enamel finish on the front. The finish is applied after the wheel goes through an environmentally safe zinc phosphate pre-treatment and is coated with an e-coat primer layer. Compared to powder coat finishes, this finish resists getting chipped from flying road debris or scraped from hitting a curb for a longer period of time. These acrylic enamel wheels performed for more than 1,000 hours in salt spray tests.
The stud holes on this steel wheel are beveled to ensure that the wheel stays tight against your trailer hub. This also eliminates the need to constantly retorque the lug nuts.
Unlike standard trailer tire tread, which has solid, continuous ribs, the automotive-grade tread on these Provider radials has ribs with breaks. These breaks allow water to run off to the sides. The Provider tread also has sipes. Siping is a process in which thin grooves (or sipes) are cut into the rubber of the tire. The grooves channel water away from the tread so that the tire makes better contact with the road. Both of these features greatly improve traction during wet, snowy, or icy conditions.
Provider radials are constructed with double polyester cords and double steel belts for increased durability and endurance. A protective layer of nylon is wrapped around the steel belts to help prevent tread separation. Provider radials are bake tested - a process usually reserved for automotive tires - to ensure that the rubber holds up over time.
In an ideal world, tire-and-wheel assemblies would be perfectly round and even throughout. Unfortunately tires and wheels have imperfections that often cause vibrations, resulting in a rough ride and wear and tear on the assemblies, as well as on the rest of your trailer's running gear. Taskmaster helps to solve this problem by match mounting and balancing their assemblies so they're ready to roll when they reach your door.
To do this, Taskmaster uses a laser-guided machine to locate the heavy and light spots of each assembly. They then align the assembly so that lightest part of the tire is near the heaviest part of the wheel. The assembly is then rotated at high speeds to pinpoint the optimal place to apply weights to further balance the tire.
Don't delay your adventures by having to take your trailer to the shop for new tires. Start rolling as soon as possible with easy-to-install, fully balanced tire-and-wheel assemblies from Taskmaster.
Radial ply tires are designed for trailers that are towed on the highway. The cords on a radial tire are positioned at a 90-degree angle to the direction of travel so that they lay across the width of the tire from wheel lip to wheel lip. This construction prevents the cords from rubbing against one another when the tire flexes, unlike the cords on a bias ply tire. As a result, radial tires have less rolling resistance and heat buildup, which leads to a longer tread life and improved steering at higher speeds.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
The first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes. The second number denotes the diameter, in inches, of the circle on which the bolt holes sit.
To determine the bolt-circle diameter on wheels with an odd number of bolt holes, measure from the center of any bolt hole to the point halfway between the two bolt holes directly across from the first. (Example: "5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" measured to a point halfway between the opposite bolt holes.)
On wheels with an even number of bolt holes, measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the hole directly across from it. (Example: "8 on 6-1/2" means 8 bolt holes with 6-1/2" from the center of one hole to the center of another on the opposite side.)
Measuring the distance from the center of one bolt hole on the wheel to the center of a bolt hole right next to it can also help to determine the bolt pattern.

Hi, this is Scott with etrailer and today we're gonna be taking a look at our replacement rim and tire combination for our trailer. What we have here today are our Provider radial STs, and these are gonna be trailer-specific tires only. These aren't gonna be able to go on any other kind of vehicle and the ST means special trailer, so what you got there on the ST. Now these are available on different sizes, bolt patterns, load ratings, so make sure you get the right one for your trailer. You can also get them in black, white or a silver finish. As far as our speed rating, a lot of these tires now come with the speed rating on them and that's gonna be a a speed rating of M on this one, and that's gonna be right around 81 miles an hour for the speed rating.
That's going to be your maximum speed that you're gonna want to go with this tire. Now we have our trailer in here now and we did some brake work on it and we did some bearing work on it and we did take a look at our old tires that we inchesre on there. We decided, you know what, why don't we just go ahead and update them while we're at it. That way we know everything was all done at once and everything's all freshened up. And as far as the combination goes, it comes with a really nice wheel, it has like a zinc coating on the underneath of all of this coating along with our e-coating and then our acrylic finish on the wheel itself.
That's gonna give it a really nice corrosion resistance and rust resistance. Now another thing nice about this tire, it is gonna be steel belted radial, so it's gonna hold up really good. As far as the tread pattern goes, it's gonna have siping in here and what that's gonna do for you is it gets raining a little bit, the rain's gonna get in there and break up and it's going to get squished out and run out these channels here. So it's gonna keep your tire nice and stable on the road in any kind of heavy rains, it's not gonna hydroplane back there when you're pulling it down the road. So that's really nice.
Another nice thing about these is this one comes pre-balanced, so it is already weighted and balanced, so it's gonna give you a smooth ride right off the bat. So if you got a trailer that's back there kind of bouncing around when you're taking it down the road, this is gonna help smooth that out where you're gonna get rid of all that rattling and all that stuff and give you a lot smoother ride. As far as finding out what you need for rim and tire combination, the easiest way to do that is gonna be take a look at the the tire size that you have on your trailer already and you just want to kind of stick within that, your size and your load rating there. In order choosing one as well, you wanna make sure you go with the right load rating for it. So this one's gonna be a C and it's gonna be a six-ply tire and it's gonna put us right around in the 1800 pound range each side.
So that gets us right around our 3,500 pound axle rating for this one. You are gonna wanna find out what size axle you have for yours, and that way you can kind of go by your load rating with that. But for this one, another thing you're gonna have to check out is what your lug measurement is. So on this one we have a five, which is our five lug, and then we have a 4 1/2. So we're gonna go from the edge of this here to the center of this one here, and that's going to give us 4 1/2 from here to here. Another thing you can do is you can use this indexing type ring and what it's gonna do is you can pop it on there and that'll verify that you have the right size. And this one we're showing 4 1/2. These are really nice to have if you have multiple trailers and you gotta replace tires quite often on those, say you're running a, you know, like a lawn service or something like that, this is nice to have, that way you can just see, if you have different trailers, what your bolt pattern is. Now this one does not come with lug nuts, we do offer them here at etrailer. You just gotta figure out what size that you have as far as lug nuts. With ours here, our lug nuts look like they're pretty good, so we're just gonna go ahead and keep the ones that we had on here and just reuse those. All right, with that all said, we're just gonna go ahead and get our wheel and tire installed. We will put our lug nuts on finger tight for now. After we get 'em all put on there finger tight, we'll come back through with either a four-way or an impact set on light, like one, or something like that. Just get 'em snugged down and then after we get our trailer sat back down on the ground, we'll come back through and we'll go ahead and set 'em down to the torque rating. Your torque rating, you want to get a check on that for whatever your stud size is. You'll be able to find out what your torque range is for those. Now we snug these down. We're just gonna go on a star pattern, here, we're gonna hit here, here and then we're gonna go over here, over here and here. That way, it all seats up nice and even. Now that we have it on the ground and we have both sides of our wheel chocked, we'll just go ahead and torque 'em down. (torque wrench beeps) Now that we have all of our wheels all torqued down and everything's tightened up, go ahead and check your tire pressures and make sure they're where they're supposed to be on both sides. I'd say drive it about 50 miles or so. Let everything settle in and then recheck 'em for torque and check your tire pressures and everything will be good to go. Hopefully this video will help you make the right decision on your Provider wheel and tire package for your trailer and hopefully it helps you figure out the right size. I'm Scott with etrailer. Thanks for watching.
