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.
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 the outboard side is finished with baked-on DuPont powder paint. The light e-coat on the inboard side of the wheel reduces friction between the wheel and your hub and eliminates the flaking that can occur with a heavily applied paint finish.
The automotive-rated center disc is raised and the stud holes are beveled and uncoated for better clamp force retention. This technology helps the wheel stay tight against your hub without the need for constant retightening.
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.

Hello, everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Taskmaster Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire in a Load Range D, and it's on this 15 inch Vesper white spoke steel trailer wheel with the five on five inch bolt pattern. Now, this tire and wheel assembly is ideal for stock trailers, utility trailers, and campers. Now, what's nice on this assembly, the tire is match mounted and balanced to the wheel for ride comfort and durability. When we say match mounted, match mounting of tires and wheels, that's a process in which the tire's installation position on the wheel is specifically selected to help minimize the final force of imbalance. So the method to match mounting is they align the tire's lightest spot with the wheel's heaviest spot, and that's to eliminate most of the radial force that can cause tire and suspension wear.
Then what they do is the final balancing, and that's done by applying weights to specific spots. On the front, you can see the weights right here. And if we spin it around, on the back also. This is to eliminate any chance of uneven wear or vibration. Now, the wheel itself you can see is a steel wheel.
It is a spoke design, it is sturdy and corrosion resistant. They do use a white acrylic enamel finish to resist chipping and other damage, which works better than the powder coat finishes. And the finish is applied after a zinc phosphate pretreatment, and then it covers an e-coat primer layer. This does give you excellent corrosion resistance with a salt spray rating of more than 1,000 hours. Now, a few measurements on the wheel.
The wheel itself is a 15 inch diameter. The width on just the wheel is six inches wide. And the bolt pattern on this wheel is a five on five inch bolt pattern. And if you wanna measure that on a wheel like this that's an odd number of lugs, what you need to do is pick any hole. Let's say if you pick this hole right here, you'll measure it to either this hole or to this hole, either one.
But when you measure, it's from the center of the starting hole to the furthest edge of whichever hole you measure to. So on this one, it'll measure five inches, so that tells you it's a five on five inch bolt pattern. This does use a wheel lug size of 1/2 inch by 20, and the weight capacity on just the wheel is 2,835 pounds. Now, you might notice that there is no center cap in this wheel. If you do want one, we do sell those separately on our website. You do wanna make sure to get one that'll have the same diameter of the pilot hole right here, 'cause your cap will go through this hole when you install it. Diameter on this one is 3.31 inches. They do use the beveled stud holes to help keep your wheel securely in place on your trailer hub, eliminates the need for concentrate re-tightening of your lug nuts. Now, the tire that's mounted on this is a radial tire. It is constructed with double steel belts, double polyester cords for a nice, long life. It's great for highway use. And they do use a nylon tread firming belt overlay to help prevent tread separation. It is a ST tire, which means special trailer tire, has the sturdy sidewall, so they can handle heavy loads. It is created specifically for trailers, it's not intended for use on other vehicles. The tire size, which will be stamped on the sidewall, ST for special trailer, 225/75R15. The R means that it is a radial. Section width on this, 8.8 inches. Overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's inflated is 28.3. This is a Load Range D, which means it's an eight-ply rated tire, so it has a maximum load capacity of 2,540 pounds at 65 psi. One other thing I do wanna mention is all the new trailer tires have a speed rating on them, and they labeled it on the sidewall with a letter designation. And where that usually is is right after the tire size, you'll see two numbers for the load index, and then there's a letter M that's stamped on there. That'll mean 81 mile per hour speed rating. Now, they do offer a two-year platinum plus warranty, includes emergency tire change service and other benefits. And this assembly does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications, and will exceed the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. But that should do it for the review on this Taskmaster Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire in a Load Range D on this 15 inch Vesper white spoke steel trailer wheel.

Radial tire with automotive-grade tread has an 8-ply rating and a 2,540-lb max load at 65 psi. Rust-resistant 3-step powder coat. Complimentary roadside assistance included. Match mounted and balanced assembly provides longevity and a smooth ride.I needed a spare tire and wheel for my utility trailer. Couldn't find a 5 or 5" anywhere. Tried E Trailer. They had it. Came quickly and was in a box stapled up good. Couldn't be happier.
Tire and rim fit perfect
Tires were well packaged and arrived on time. So far great investment.
Perfect fit and match for the existing tire. I was having a hard time trying to find a 5 on 5, until I found etrailer.com will be using this site for any of my trailer needs in the future.
Steve was so friendly and helpful on the phone! We needed a spare for a trip and we're on a time crunch. Steve was able to look up the shipping and tell us when it would get to us. The wheel arrived as stated.
i have never had any concerns ordering thru etrailer, all deliveries have been on time, and quality always what i have expected. i will continue to use etrailer in the future
Best trailer wheel/tire I’ve ever bought
Good customer service. Very helpful.
This company has been great. They are very helpful and courteous, the prices are great and delivery is outstanding. I would highly recommend this company to anyone!
The tire is exactly what I ordered and is adentical match to a previous one that was on the trailer/carhauler.
Quick shipping, exactly what I ordered!
excellent product! They were exactly what I had expected and fit perfect.
I purchased this as a spare for my utility trailer in case I am more than 20 km from my home. I haven't needed to use it yet. It is worth the peace of mind to know that I am not leaving equipment on the side of the road unattended.
I replaced the wheels/tires that came on my TSC trailer because they were so far out of round you couldn't stand to pull the trailer other than very short trips. I put these on the trailer and it was actually enjoyable to pull. The main demand for this was my wife pulled this trailer behind her Nissan Cube from Ohio to Southern California and back while I got to ride my motorcycle. ;o) Good times. Thanks for the great wheels/tires.
I haven't used the new tires and wheels as of yet. They were ordered to replace a15 year old set on a small Travel Trailer that I have been restoring. I bought the Providers for two reasons, the 81mph rating as I tow outside of California quite a bit and most trailer tires don't like 65-70mph speeds. I also liked the more street friendly tread as I live in the mountains and braking on wet or snowy roads is critical. Tires and wheels arrived very quickly and packaged well. I have heard some folks complain about issues removing the stickers (a heat gun or blow dryer makes removal very easy). My only issue was one tire had a couple of gouges in it that appeared to be from when the tire was mounted. A call to etrailer and an e-mailed picture and they had a replacement headed my way. They also provided a UPS return shipping label at no cost. As has been my experience in the past with these folks, etrailer goes above and beyond to provide some of the best customer service I have ever experienced (having owned my own business for 40+ years I have had many occasions to deal with various companies customer service departments). Good products shipped in a timely manner at a fair price with exceptional customer service, what more can a person ask for!
Very happy with the delivery of trailer wheels and tires from etrailer.com so I could zoom off camping and not worry if the old tires would hold up. One old wheel went as a spare.
A while ago I bought a trailer which I had planned to turn into a tiny home. Life happened and plans changed, so the trailer sat in my driveway for two years, during which the already-old tires began to rot. I decided the best move was to sell the trailer, but obviously I have to replace the tires first. I found that ordering the tires already mounted was the best option for me (rather than jacking my trailer up, taking the tires off one side at a time, leaving the trailer jacked up and taking the old wheels somewhere to get new tires put on them... then repeating the process with the other side.) I have no experience with tire specs, wheel sizes, etc. But between reading the specs on the existing tires and the helpful measurement information on this site I was able to order the exact right wheels for my trailer. I ordered two (of four) to start because money's tight, but they arrived on time and in perfect condition, and I replaced the old ones in about 40 minutes. They look great and are perfectly inflated. Couldn't be happier! So simple I ordered the other two immediately after writing this review! Now I can sell my trailer and make that money right back!
Ordered radials to replace puncture prone bias ply tires after a recent flat - again. Tires arrived 2 days after ordering. Packaged well, no damaged, mounted and inflated. The tread looks like car tires and they fill up the fender well. I have a set of Providers on my travel trailer and they have performed well, hoping these will too. I only gave 4 stars because I have no basis to rate their performance but will check back later and share an update.
I just purchased these tires for a car trailer I got with mismatched wheels I was not sure what tires I needed but thanks to their very informative website I was able to find the tires/rims I needed the finish on the wheels is excellent and the shipping was unbelievably quick etrailer is an excellent place to do business with
My tiny trailer came with 12" 55mph rated tires, which were not up to a 14,000 mile 50 day trip around the US, many at 70mph.
These 15" wheels and tires, rated at 81mph, have been GREAT! Took a 22 day 7500 mile trip across 80 in USA and back on TC1 in Canada...most at 70+ mph! I love them.
Peace of mind... the change from 65 mph (top non-sustainable speed) from the OEM tires to these with 81 mph (top non-sustainable speed) has given me real peace of mind after the 1 if the OEM tires blew out on the FL. turnpike going about 65 mph taking the fender & wiring out with it. That is when I did some research on the speed rating for trailer tires! What an eye-opener. So I opted for these with the M speed rating and am very pleased. We have been humming along about 70 mph with no trepidations. Thanks.
