Hub-Piloted Wheel
This wheel is hub piloted, which means that it centers on the hub, not the lugs. The wheel requires the use of flange nuts (sold separately) for installation.
Corrosion-Resistant Finish
The steel wheel goes through a 3-step finishing process that makes it both attractive and corrosion resistant. The wheel is first submerged in a zinc phosphate bath to ensure good paint adhesion. It is then e-coated with an acrylic primer base and finished on both sides with baked-on DuPont powder paint.
Provider Radials
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.
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.

Today we're going to take a look at the Taskmaster Provider 215 75 R17.5 radial truck and trailer tire in a load range H, on the 17 and 1/2 inch silver mode wheel with an offset and an 8 on 6 and 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Now this tire and wheel is something that's ideal for heavy duty trucks and trailers. The wheel itself is a heavy duty steel wheel. Has the modular design. A modular design is the one with the round holes all the way around it. It's very sturdy and corrosion resistant.
The wheel itself goes through a 3 step finishing process which first include a zinc phosphate bath, then an eco-primmer and then the silver powder coat on both sides of the wheel. Now this wheel is a hub piloted wheel, which means it requires the use of flange nuts to install this. We do sell those separately on our website and they are listed on this product page as a related product. The tire on this is a radial tire. It is constructed with double steel belts, double polyester cords for a long life. It's great for highway use.
Does have a nice nylon tread forming belt overlay to help prevent any tread separation. The tire is bake tested to ensure that the rubber will hold up overtime. This larger tire, the tread is re-groovable for additional mileage. It is stamped on the tire "Re-groovable" but we do like to recommend always check your local federal and state laws to make sure that is legal in your area. This part, this tire is created specifically for heavy duty trucks and trailers. It's not intended for use on any other vehicles.
This whole tire and wheel assembly does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications and it does exceed the Federal Motor vehicles safety standards. A few specs on this. We'll start with the wheel. The dimension or diameter which is always measured inside inside is going to be 17 and 1/2 inches. The width on this wheel is 6 and 3/4 inches wide. Now the bolt pattern on this wheel is going to be 8 on 6 and 1/2 inch bolt pattern.
If you want to ever want to measure that on a wheel like this that's an even number of logs, all you have to do is pick 1 hole and measure from the center of that log hole directly across to the center of the hole right across from it and that will be 6 and 1/2 inches on this wheel, so that's 8 on 6 and 1/2 inch bolt pattern. I mentioned earlier the wheel log size of the inaudible 00:02:18 is 5/8ths by 18 flange nut. The weight capacity on just the wheel by itself is 5,956 pounds. Tirelet 00:02:27 hole diameter, it's a large hole here in the center, goes over the axle. That diameter is going to be 4.76 inches and this wheel does have a slight positive 0.08 inch offset. Very slight. Basically that just means a mounting surface is moved a little bit towards . The surface that's mounted has moved a little bit towards the outside which will pull the tire and wheel underneath just a little bit. Now the tire size on this which is stamped on your side 215 75 R17.5. the R means it is a radial design tire. The section width on this tire is 8.3 inches. Overall diameter from the very bottom to the top when it's inflated is 30.2. now this tire is a load range H, which means it's a 16 ply rated tire. Does have a maximum load capacity of 4,805 pounds at 123 PSI and the last thing is the higher rate stamp with a speed rating. Where that is, is if you look at your size, roll down to the sides, right after it you'll see 2 numbers for the load index and then the letter J. Letter J is the speed rating and that means it's rated for 62 miles per hour. That should do it for the review on the Taskmaster Provider 215 75 R17.5 radial truck and trailer tire in a load range H on the 17 and 1/2 silver mode wheel with a slight offset and an 8 on 6 and 1/2 inch bolt pattern.

Bought this product to be used as a spare tire on my 5th wheel trailer. Very satisfied with how it arrived, on time and not damaged, how fast it arrived to my location and the overall experience of dealing with etrailers. I will remember them and use them again if the need arises. 724747
Tires and rims are holding up well with light use. The rims came with a few nicks in the paint around the bead that were either from shipping or handling when received so there are a couple spots of rust but nothing you wouldn't expect. 615472
Great deal, arrived quickly! 559036

Review from a similar Provider Silver Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
I needed to grab an extra spare tire for an upcoming cross country trip. I checked at the dealer and the price quoted was unreasonably high. For the price of one spare at the dealer I could buy 3 here on etrailer. In addition to the great price the tire was shipped promptly and arrived fully inflated and ready to go. Hopefully I won't have to use it any time soon but it looks to be top quality. Very pleased. 521574

I’m very pleased with this tire rim combo. Seems to be holding up well. No corrosion on the rims that I can see and my trailer is stored outside year round. 593487

Review from a similar Provider Silver Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
Wheels look nice and the tires look good. Fast shipment from etrailer. A little disappointed because the web page gives the impression the tires ready to put on the trailer, but the tires are not balanced. Maybe that's ok for a short haul trailer, but not for a travel trailer. Guess I'll be making a trip to the local tire store. 710974

etrailer did not have my original selection in stock, but Bryan W. got in touch with me quickly and we found an in-stock replacement. Received the tires in 4 days. They are very nice looking, hopefully I will be able to test them out in a few days. So far I am very satisfied. 397077
Review from a similar Provider Silver Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
I've been watching for someone to make a D load range in a 215-75-14 ST for years. I have a typical tandem axle boat trailer that is at capacity and with the usual C load range tires, even brand new rides like it's on marshmallows. They showed up a few years ago but very hard to find until now, with etrailer. These were priced at a point where to buy the wheel/tire combo is less than what it cost me to buy C load range locally and and have them mounted, and not only do I get new wheels but it's much easier and more convenient to just swap whole wheel/tire myself. So far I couldn't be more pleased. They were backordered which didn't surprise me but the first 4 came in when expected and shipped quick. After getting them on, I ordered a 5th for the spare, it was in within the week. Unfortunately on my first short 1 mile test drive down the road, I picked up a big nail, in the shoulder/sidewall (unrepairable) so I ordered a 6th and once again, it was here in no time. The wheels themselves are impressive. Not only do they look good, the coating is very impressive. The tires, what can I say? As soon as I had all 4 on the ground, I was smiling. The tires weren't bulged and I couldn't rock the boat on the tires as they did before! It tows much better, more stable and lighter feeling. I assume it's less rolling resistance and it's much more stable. This boat/trailer weighs about 7400# light, up to a max of about 8000# with fuel, water and gear so it's been at or over capacity for C load range. As far as tire construction etc. it's hard to judge tires that way, but these visually are solid. No strange seams etc. They just look and feel solid as can be and priced really well compared to the usual big names. I'm very happy with the wheels and tires, and the great service from etrailer. 285552

I could not more pleased with my 6 ply trailer tires and wheels from etrailer. I purchased the tires mounted on the wheels, took them out of the box and put them on my boat trailer. That was a year ago and have had no problems. Previously I had been blowing out 4ply tires as the Triton boat is heavy. This is not my first purchase from etrailer. They sell quality products at a great price and want you to be satisfied as a customer. Thanks George! 493523

I ordered a tire and wheel, but after the order was completed I received a message that the order was backordered. Since I didn't want to wait for the backorder, I was given an option of changing my purchase. The process was simple and quick and handled very well. I would highly recommend etrailer. 545364
Review from a similar Provider Silver Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
The order I placed Saturday afternoon shipped before close of business Saturday and arrived on my doorstep (regular delivery) on Tuesday afternoon. Considering I ordered three replacement tires w/wheels, along with a spare tire mount, for my single axle utility trailer, I was very pleased with how quickly e-trailer got these items to me! I am replacing Goodyear tires that have been installed for 15+ years and have provided good service. After discovering that one of the existing tires had a bad cut across the tread, I was worried it might rupture, leaving me broken down along the road somewhere. As such, it made sense to replace both and add a spare at the same time, something I had meant to do for a number of years. While I have never bought TaskMaster brand tires before and don't know what to expect, the reviews on the e-trailer website would seem to indicate these are a good product. Physically, the tire/wheel sets I purchased look great and the price was less than any of the local dealers offered. None had these in stock either - I would have had to order them and wait two weeks for them to arrive. I'll trust my colleagues at e-trailer, who have supplied me other high-quality products in the past, to have done the same with these. Time will tell... 524440
Review from a similar Provider Silver Mod in Trailer Tires and Wheels
Purchased this tire/wheel combo as a spare for my utility trailer. I was amazed at the speed of delivery and the perfect match to the wheels I currently have on the trailer. I also purchased a Master #262DAT spare tire carrier lock and Wishbone #A20WB 4-way wire combo from etrailer. com. Unfortunatly, etrailer did not carry a spare tire carrier that suited my needs so I built my own, everything installed perfectly. I am extremely please with the products and customer service I received from etrailer. Will definitely purchase from etrailer again as the need arises. 492759
