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
This wheel 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.
Taskmaster 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. Taskmaster radials are bake tested - a process usually reserved for automotive tires - to ensure that the rubber holds up over time.
Unlike standard trailer tire tread, this deep, rugged tread channels water away so that the tire makes better contact with the road. This greatly improves traction during wet, snowy, or icy conditions. Because of this, the tire is specifically designed for off-roading on uneven terrain such as mud, sand, and grass, although it performs well on highways and other paved roads as well.
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.

Hello everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're going to take take a look at the Taskmaster ST 235/75/R15 Radial Off-Road trailer tire in a load range D mounted on this 15 inch Vesper black modular wheel with the six on five and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this tire and wheel assembly is ideal for trailers, off-roading on mud, or other uneven terrain. And it can also be used on highways and other paved roads. I did wanna show you, it has a nice deep rugged tread on it.
This will help channel mud and water away from the tire to improve traction during wet, snowy, or icy condition. Has a very deep tread depth to it of 18/32nds of an inch. And the other nice feature I wanted to mention, if you look on the shoulder of the tire, it has this nice raised rubber design to protect it from damage. Basically that shoulder area on the tire, that's the most vulnerable area for heat buildup. So that's where you get a lot of problems with tires.
What they've done here, besides giving a nice design to the look, they've raised it with some heavy rubber there to help protect it also. Now this is a radial ply tire. It is constructed with double steel belts, double polyester plys for a nice long life. They do use a nylon tread firming belt overlay to help prevent tread separation. And it is an ST tire, which stands for Special Trailer tire.
Has the sturdy side wall so it can handle heavy loads, and it is created specifically for trailers. It's not intended for use on other vehicles. Now the wheel on this is a nice sturdy steel wheel, has the modular design, and when we say modular design, that's the one that has the round holes all the way around the wheel. This one is a black acrylic enamel finish on it to resist chipping and other damage, better than your powder coat finishes. The finish is first applied after a zinc phosphate pre-treatment, and then it covers an e-coat primer layer.
This will give you excellent closure resistance with a soft spray rating of more than a thousand hours. Now this assembly does have a two year platinum plus warranty on it, which does include emergency tire change service and other benefits. The assembly does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation, standards and does exceed federal motor vehicle safety standards. Now if you notice, this wheel does not have a center cap. We do sell center caps separately if you'd like to have one. They're usually listed on this product page as a related product. All you have to be aware of is that the center cap goes through this hole, and this pilot hole diameter is 3.19 inches. So you just wanna make sure to get a center cap that has that diameter to it. The center cap will go through the back here. Now a few specs on this, the diameter on the wheel 15 inches. The width of just the wheel is 6 inches wide. The bolt pattern on this wheel is a six on five and a half inch bolt pattern. And if you wanna measure that on a wheel, that's an even number of lugs. It's pretty easy to measure 'cause the lug holes you can see are directly across from each other. So you just pick any hole, let's say this one, measure from the center of this hole directly across to the center of the hole right across from it. On this, it'll measure five and a half inches. So it is a six on five and a half inch bolt pattern. Does use the wheel lug size of a half inch by 20. And the weight capacity on just the wheel is 2,835 pounds. Now the tire size which will be stamped on the sidewall is ST 235/75/R15. The R stands for radial tire. Section width on this tire is gonna be 9.3 inches. Overall diameter from the bottom to the very top when it's inflated is 28.9 inches. And this tire is a load range D, which means it's an 8 ply rated tire. Does have a maximum load capacity of 2,910 pounds at 65 psi. And one of the last things I do wanna mention is new trailer tires are coming through with speed ratings on 'em now. And they designate the speed rating by a letter designation. And that's usually right after the size we went over. You'll see two numbers for the load index, and then there's a letter N. Speed rating N will mean it has an 87 mile per hour speed rating. But that should do it for the review on this Taskmaster ST 235/75/R15 Radial Off-Road trailer tire in a low range D mounted on this 15 inch Vesper black modular wheel with a six on five and a half inch board pattern..
