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.
Durable Acrylic Enamel 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 powdeThe wheel on this assembly has a durable acrylic enamel finish on the front. The finish is applied after the wheel goes through an environmentally safe zinc phosphate pre-treatment and is coated with an e-coat primer layer. Compared to powder coat finishes, this finish resists getting chipped from flying road debris or scraped from hitting a curb for a longer period of time. These acrylic enamel wheels performed for more than 1,000 hours in salt spray tests.r 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.
Taskmaster radials have 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. Taskmaster radials are bake tested - a process usually reserved for automotive tires - to ensure that the rubber holds up over time.
The standard tread on this tire has solid, continuous ribs, and there are very few sipes (or thin grooves) cut into the rubber. This tire is designed for use on trailers, so it doesn't require the level of traction that would be needed on a vehicle that is braking or steering.
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 this Taskmaster 480 by 12 Radial Trailer Tire in a Load Range C, and it's mounted on this 12 inch Vesper White Spoke Steel Trailer Wheel with the four on four inch bolt pattern. Now this tire and wheel assembly is ideal for stock trailers, utility trailers, and campers. The wheel, you can see it's a steel wheel. Has the spoke designed to it, and it's very sturdy and corrosion resistant.
You'll notice it uses a white acrylic enamel finish on it to resist chipping and other damage better than your powder coat finishes. The finish is applied after a zinc phosphate pretreatment, and then it covers an eco primer layer. This will give you excellent corrosion resistance. Has a salt spray rating of more than a thousand hours. A few dimensions on the wheel itself.
The diameter, which is always measured inside the inside, is 12 inches. The width on just the wheel is four inches wide. The wheel bolt pattern is a four on four inch bolt pattern. And if you wanna measure that on a wheel, that's an even number of lugs, like in this case, four. It's pretty easy because the lug holes you can see are directly across from each other.
So all you have to do is pick any hole. Let's say this one. Measure from the center of the hole to the center of the hole right across from it. So on this one it'll measure four inches. So that means it's a four lug four inch bolt pattern.
Does use a wheel lug size of a half inch by 20. And the weight capacity on just the wheel is 1,520 pounds. Now if you notice, the center cap is not included. If you do want a center cap, we do sell those separately. You just wanna make sure to get a center cap that'll have the same diameter as this pilot hole. 'Cause when you install it, it will go through this hole. The diameter on this pilot hole is 2.84 inches. The tire is an ST tire, which stands for Special Trailer tire. Has a sturdy sidewall so they could handle heavy loads, and it is created specifically for trailers. It's not intended for use on other vehicles. It is a radial tire. It's constructed with double steel belts, double polyester cords for a nice, long life. And the tire is bake tested to ensure that the rubber holds up over time. They also use a nylon tread firming belt overlay to help prevent tread separation. Now the tire size, which will be stamped on the sidewall. Right here, you can see, 4.80 R12. The R means that it is a radial tire. Section width on this is 4.8 inches. Overall diameter, from the bottom to the top where it's inflated is 20.6 inches. And this tire is a load range C, which means it's a six ply rated tire. Has a maximum load capacity of 990 pounds at 90 PSI. They do also put a speed rating on this tire, and it is stamped on the tire, but it is very small and it is located right down where the load range is listed. Up at the very top, it'll say 81 miles per hour, which is the speed rating. Now this tower wheel assembly will meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications, and it does exceed your federal motor vehicle safety standards. This does also come with a two year platinum plus warranty that will include complimentary roadside assistance. But that's gonna do it for a look at this Taskmaster 480 by 12 Radial Trailer Tire in a Load Range C, mounted on this 12 inch Vesper White Spoke Steel Trailer Wheel.

The tire and rim look awesome.. delivery came on time Joshua b at e trailer was very helpful to work with
Just got the tires and rims. They look good but what year were this tires mfg. DOT 10U. Does that mean they were made in 2010? I sure hope not!!
The tires I ordered were on back order but it was communicated to me in a timely matter. In the end I got the tires I needed for a very fair price and will continue to order my trailer needs from etrailer.com
Great upgrade to my gooseneck with 7k Dexter axles. Come mounted AND balanced. Will buy these exact ones again from etrailer!
I was very happy with te tires and wheels i recently purchased. I had them with in 3 days of ordering them and the whole process was quick and easy. Also they kept me informed on every step from receiving the order till they were delivered. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!
So far so good! We are a low milage company (2000 per year). After a year they still look brand new.
Excellent trailer wheel and tire! Exactly like the ones on the trailer.
Tire and rim are exactly what I expected. Can’t beat the price either. I was shocked at how quickly it arrived for being the free shipping option.
Ordered this for a spare matched my existing rim to a T. Thanks for the quick turn around. Liked the tread on the tire also.
Etrailer has been my supplier for hitches, snow chains and now wheels with pre-mounted tires. Excellent service never a problem.
Delivered literally in 1 day of ordering. This is exactly what I needed. I’m a procrastinator so I needed a spare tire last minute and they DELIVERED! I will definitely be purchasing all 4 new tires soon.
Was very happy with the tire and wheel package at first.
Unfortunately the wheels started to rust a few months after the purchase and wasn’t even the winter yet.
When I called about this I was told they wouldn’t replace the wheels.
So the finish on the wheels failed within a few months
I was very disappointed to see that only the outside of my wheel was painted white. When mounted on my motorcycle trailer, both sides of the wheel are clearly visible. Unbelievable that the miniscule savings afforded by skipping this step is considered justified. I am now stuck, of course, because the delay to exchange or return it would be unacceptable.
If this is indicative of the quality I should expect from etrailer, this will be my last order.
I'm more giving the shopping experience 5 stars then the tires as I just received them so I can't speak to quality or reliability just yet but they look great and are balanced which is a huge plus should wear a lot better then what I had before the customer service and shopping experience is amazing they do such a great job of following up and making sure your happy and got everything I will always bring my business to etrailer
Exactly what I was looking for.
