This tire-and-wheel assembly is made for serious hauling. The radial tire carries a maximum load of 5,675 lbs at 127 psi with an 18-ply rating and a speed rating of 81 mph (M). Double steel belts, double polyester cords, and nylon tread-firming overlays help prevent tread separation and heat buildup. It’s bake tested to ensure the rubber holds up mile after mile and meets DOT and FMVSS standards for confidence at highway speeds.
Corrosion doesn’t stand a chance thanks to the wheel’s zinc phosphate bath, e-coat primer, and baked-on DuPont silver powder coat applied to both sides. The finish seals out moisture and road grime while maintaining a clean look that lasts through the elements. The heavy-duty steel wheel with four hand holes is built tough and remains sturdy under real-world use.
Whether it’s mounted inside or outside of a dual setup, the wheel’s ±5.59" offset keeps everything properly positioned. This hub-piloted design centers on the hub for better support and requires flange nuts (sold separately) for installation. It’s a simple but precise setup that makes swapping or matching dual assemblies straightforward.
The Provider radial design uses cords positioned at 90 degrees to the direction of travel, reducing internal friction compared to bias ply construction. That means lower rolling resistance, less heat buildup, longer tread life, and steadier tracking at higher speeds. With a 31.38" outer diameter and 9.17" section width, it delivers consistent performance on pavement without sacrificing durability over time.
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.
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).
Common configurations: 5 on 4.5" (most popular), 5 on 5", 5 on 4.75", 5 on 5.5"

Speaker 1: Today we're gonna take a look at the Provider 235/75R17.5 Radial Tire in a load range J, on this 17 and a half inch silver, dual steel wheel, with the 8 on 275 millimeter bolt pattern. Now this tire and wheel assembly is designed for use on dual wheel trucks, buses, and trailers. This dual wheel uses a wheel offset that allows the assembly to be used as either the inner or the other wheel of a dual wheel set-up. The wheel is a heavy-duty steel wheel. It is a four-handhold design wheel, it's very sturdy and corrosion resistant. Now this wheel does go through a three-step finishing process, which will first include a zinc-phosphate bath, then an eco-primer, and they do a silver powder coat on both sides of the wheel.And on this dual wheel, if you'll notice, the center disk, it is spun formed from a fine grained steel, and that it's fully welded into place for strength and durability.
This is a hub-piloted wheel, so it does require the use of flange nuts for installation, we do sell those separately on our website.Now the tire that's mounted on this, it's constructed with a double steel belt, double polyester cords for a nice, long life. It's great for highway use. They do also use a nylon tread firming belt overlay to help prevent tread separation. This does offer the tread depth bars like you see on your passenger cars. Gives us a quick visual indication of the tread wear.Now on a tire this large, it is stamped, it is regroovable for additional mileage, but you do want to check with your federal and state laws in your area because they may apply as far as regrooving the tire.
This tire is bake tested to ensure the that the rubber holds up over time, and this whole assembly does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation, specifications, and exceeds your Federal Motor Vehicle safety standards.Now a few measurements on this. The diameter on the wheel, which is always measured inside to inside, is 17 and a half inches. The width on just the wheel is six and three-quarter inches wide. The bolt pattern we mentioned is an eight on 275 millimeters. There's your eight lugs, and the distance, if you measured that bolt pattern from the center of this hole directly across to the center right across from it, would be 275 millimeters.
We had mentioned they use a flange nut, because it's a hub piloted wheel. It uses the lug nut size of five eighths by 18 size flange nut. Now the weight capacity on just the wheel is 5675 pounds. Pilot hole diameter, which is the large hole here in the center, this is 8.7 inches. And we mentioned it has a dual offset that was designed, depending if you use it for an inner or outer wheel, so the offset would either be a positive 5.59 inches, or a negative 5.59 inches.And the tire size, which is stamped right here on the tire, 235/75R17.5, the "R" stands for "Radial designed tire." Section width on this is gonna be right at 9.2 inches.
Overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's fully inflated is 31.4 inches. And this tire is a load range J, which means it's an 18 ply rated tire. So in a dual load, or in a dual tire set-up, the maximum load on this is 5675 pounds, at 127 PSI. And the last thing I do want to mention is most all the new tires are coming through with a speed rating, and the speed rating on this would be, if you look right after the size we just went over, you'll see two numbers, which is the load index, and then the letter "M". The letter M will mean "127", or I'm sorry, the letter M will mean "81 miles per hour speed rating".But that should do it for the review on the Provider 235/75R17.5 Radial Tire in a load range J, on this 17 and a half inch silver dual steel wheel, with the 8 on 275 millimeter bolt pattern.

If its the single tire it was bought as a spare not to be used until needed.
