Features to know about

Built for Big Loads and Long Hauls: Load Range E with 81-mph Speed Rating

When you’re pulling heavy gear at highway speeds, this combo is ready to handle it. The Provider ST235/80R16 radial tire carries up to 3,520 lbs at 80 psi and is speed rated M (81 mph). The 16" x 6" steel wheel is rated for 3,860 lbs, giving you a strong margin for hauling confidence. Both meet DOT specs and exceed FMVSS standards, so you can tow long distances knowing your setup is proven and compliant.

Smooth, Balanced Ride Right Out of the Box: Match-Mounted and Ready to Install

No need to spend time at the tire shop. This assembly comes match-mounted and balanced from the factory for a smooth ride that cuts down on vibration and wear. The laser-guided balancing process aligns the tire and wheel for even rotation, so you get less bounce and more stability on the road from day one.

Corrosion Resistance That Lasts: Black Acrylic Enamel over E-Coat Primer

Road debris, salt spray, and wet conditions don’t stand a chance. The modular steel wheel uses a zinc phosphate pre-treatment and e-coat primer before the black acrylic enamel finish is applied. It resists chips and scrapes better than standard powder coat finishes and earned more than 1,000 hours of salt spray resistance in testing.

Confident Grip in Wet or Cold Conditions: Automotive-Grade Radial Tread

Traction matters when weather turns bad. These Provider radials use automotive-grade tread with sipes that channel water away for better contact on wet, snowy, or icy roads. Double steel belts, double polyester cords, and a nylon overlay strengthen the tire against tread separation while reducing heat buildup on long drives. The result is durability you can count on for thousands of miles.

Close-up comparison of Provider trailer tire tread versus standard trailer tire tread, highlighting rib breaks and sipes for improved traction.

Extra Peace of Mind When You Need It: 2-Year Platinum Plus Warranty

The included Platinum Plus warranty adds real-world assurance with 2 years of complimentary roadside assistance. If you ever get a flat, a technician will come change it out with your existing inflated spare tire—24 hours a day, 7 days a week—so your trip keeps moving without delay.

Determining Bolt Pattern

1. Count the lug holes

Look at the wheel hub or the back of the wheel and count how many lug holes there are(also called bolt holes).

Common configurations include: 4-lug, 5-lug, 6-lug and 8 lug

2a. For even lug counts (4-lug, 6-lug, 8-lug)

Measure from the center of one lug hole directly across to the center of the hole opposite it.

Center to Center
Common configurations: 4 on 4", 6 on 5.5", 8 on 6.5"

2b. For odd lug counts (5-lug)

Measure from the center of one lug hole to the outer edge of the hole directly across (not center-to-center since there's no directly opposite hole).

Center to Outside Edge
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

Good tire !



by:

Excellent service! The tire was balanced and filled with air! The tire was backordered but they kept me in the loop the whole time!



by:

Good tires.



by:

This was an emergency replacement and delivery was fast. Item was exactly as they described. Etrailer has always delivered as promised, I highly recommend them.



by:

Just what I needed for my dump trailer. Thank goodness UPS was able to deliver. I am in the mountains of Western North Carolina so I’ll be able to use this to clean up and haul dirt and gravel for myself and some neighbors.



by:

I received the wheel & tire in excellent condition. No scratches or anything, well packaged. Fitment is perfect. Couldn't ask for better up front experience.



by:

I was more than happy with the spare tire that arrived. Shipping was fast and on time and the tire was balanced! I would absolutely buy from etrailer again



by:

Exact match for the wheels/tires on my trailer. Mounted, balanced and ready to install.



by:

Bought tire and rim for spare on my heavy duty trailer. Rim matched perfectly, tire is better than what came with trailer. Will purchase this tire when trailer tires wear out.



by:

The tire came in relatively unscathed but was not packaged. I previously ordered a 14" trailer tire that came in a box that was large enough to hold this one. I expected this one to arrive packaged as well.



by:

Quick shipping. Whole purchase process was quick and easy! Rim came with a few scratches on it, may have to touch it up so it doesn't rust... (possibly due to the fact, they ship it without any box or protection), but since it is for a spare tire, that is not a problem for me. Overall the tire looks great!



by:

Exactly what I ordered but even better. They not only mounted and inflated the tire/wheel; they also balanced it. Thank you etrailer !

its a spare and holing up fine. I cant say much other than when asked for a 1 year review all I could do was go out, look at condition from being exposed to weather and check pressure. Pressure wa good still and tire looks as goos as it did a year ago.

@Dan Glad to hear things are holding up the way they should Dan, and that you haven't been in a situation yet where you have had to use the spare. What kind of trailer did you get this for?
