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.
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.
This aluminum wheel comes with steel inserts in the lug nut wells. The inserts are pressed into the aluminum, and they help prevent the holes from wearing down over time. This ensures that the wheel stays secured to your trailer hub and that you won't have to constantly retorque the lug nuts.
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.

Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Provider ST235 80R16 radial trailer tire, a load range G, on the 16 inch black Viking aluminum wheel, with the eight on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern. Now this tire and wheel assembly's ideal for RVs, campers, and trailers. They use an aluminum wheel which is very durable, lightweight, and rust proof. It is a Viking series Valhalla design, which is an all black eight spoke wheel. Has the machine accents on the lip to help provide a nice bold, sleek look.Now the front and the back of the wheel all have a nice protective clear coating on it. It does include the chrome metal center cap here.
I'll pull it out just to show you. Very nice, shiny cap. You just install it from the rear, and then when you put your wheel up onto your axle, you just bolt it down. It holds the cap into place. Does use steel inserts around the lug nut wells to help keep the wheel securely in place on your trailer hub.
This prevents the holes from wearing down, eliminates the need for constant re tightening of your lug nuts.Now the tire that's mounted on this tire is a radial tire. It is constructed with double steel belts, double polyester cords. Great for highway use. They also use a nice nylon tread firming belt overlay around the tire to help prevent treat separation. We do use the tread depth bars like you'll see in passenger car tires, that'll give you a quick visual indication of how your tread is wearing.And this tire is bake tested to ensure that the rubber holds up over time.
The tread does have some nice siping on it, which are the cuts in the tread blocks. This helps channel water away from underneath the tire, helps improve traction during wet, snowy, or icy conditions. The tire is a special trailer tire design, which will couple the strength of a bias tire, with the durability and stability of a radial tire.It is created specifically for trailers, not intended for use on other vehicles. Now this whole assembly does come with a two year, platinum plus warranty, which will include complimentary roadside assistance. So if your trailer has a flat tire, you can call their help line and a technician will come change out the flat tire with your existing, inflated spare tire.
And this service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.This assembly will meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specification, and the SAE standards. A few specs on this, when you measure this, the rim diameter will always be measured inside to inside, or bead seat to bead seat. So on this wheel it's 16 inch diameter. The width on just the wheel is 6-1/2 inches wide. Bolt pattern on this wheel is eight on 6-1/2 inches. And if you ever wanted to measure that, on a wheel that has an even number of lugs, like in this case, eight, just want to take the cap out to show you here. If you want to measure it, all you have to do is find one hole, measure from the center of that hole, directly across to the center of the hole right across from it. And that'll get you your bolt pattern. On this wheel it'll measure 6-1/2 inches. So eight lugs, 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern.This wheel does use the wheel lug size of a 1/2 inch by 20, or 9/16 by 18. Pilot hole diameter, this is the large hole here in the center, goes over the hub on your trailer, diameter of that opening is 4.9 inches. And the weight capacity on just the wheel is 4,450 pounds. Now the tire size, it'll be stamped on the sidewall, ST for special trailer, 235 80R16. The R means it's a radial tire. Section width is 9.3 inches.Overall diameter from the very bottom to the top, when it's inflated, is 30.8. Now this tire is a load range G, which means it's a 14 bi rated tire. Has a maximum load capacity of 4,080 pounds, and a 110 psi. And the last thing I do want to mention is most all the new trailer tires are coming through with a speed rating on them. And the speed rating's always stamped on the tire. And they designate it by a letter. And where you find that is if you go right after the size, you'll see right after two numbers for the load index, and then the letter M. Speed rating M will mean this is an 81 mile per hour speed rated tire.But that should do it for the review on the Provider ST235 80R16 radial trailer tire, in a load range G, on this 16 inch black Viking aluminum wheel with the eight on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

Scott O - 06/11/2020Received tire and rim. Matches perfectly came fast and looks great. Will buy from here again. 585418
After a blowout, flat tire and then observing cracks in the sidewall of our other two tires we knew it was time to up grade from Load E to Load G for our 2013 Keystone Raptor 300MP. We are taking our annual "big" trip to Arizona this year and now I feel more at ease knowing these beasts are going to keeping us safe rolling down the highway. They look awesome on our rig as well. Great customer service. I only wish that they came balanced. 639319

Review from a similar Provider Viking Black in Trailer Tires and Wheels
All 4 rims with mounted tires arrived in a timely manner. I installed new rims and tires. We found that the new radial tires and rims road smooth for class C rated tires - (Previously we ran C rated bias ply tires - very stiff side walls - ruff riding tires also tread wear didn't last as expected). So far the tires and rims are working well carrying loads as expected and also look great. 588253

I'll be a customer for life. 583001

Review from a similar Provider Viking Black in Trailer Tires and Wheels
These wheels and tires make my 2003 Triton TR-186 look like a brand new boat. Very satisfied with the speed of shipping and engagement by the E-trailer staff to get these to me. Only issue was that I couldn't use the center caps as they are too short for my bearing buddies. I think they look great even without them. 744763
