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 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.
The stud holes on this steel wheel are beveled to ensure that the wheel stays tight against your trailer hub. This also eliminates the need to constantly retorque the lug nuts.
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 this Taskmaster Provider ST205/75R15 radial trailer tire in a load range D and it's mounted on this 15 inch Vesper silver modular steel trailer wheel with a five on four and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this tire and wheel assembly, it is ideal for stock trailers, utility trailers, and even campers. What's unique on this assembly is the tire is match mounted and balanced to the wheel for ride comfort and durability. Match mounting of tires and wheels, that's a process in which the tire's installation position onto the wheel is specifically selected to minimize final force of imbalance. The method to match mounting is to 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 they do the final balancing by applying weights to specific spots to the front in the back of the wheel to eliminate any chance of uneven wear or vibration. And just to show you on this one they put the weights right here in the front and over here in the back. So that makes this assembly all balanced. The wheel on this it is a steel wheel has the modular design. When we say modular design that's the one that has the round holes all the way around the wheel.
It is sturdy, corrosion resistant. Does use a silver acrylic enamel finish to resist chipping and other damage better than your powder coat finishes. And the finish is applied after a zinc phosphate pre-treatment and covers an E-coat primer layer. Does give you excellent corrosion resistance, Has a salt spray rating of more than 1,000 hours. Few specs on this, starting with the wheel.
The diameter 15 inches, width on just the wheel six inches, bolt pattern is a five on four and a half. And if you wanna measure that on a wheel like this that's an odd number of lugs. Five lugs. Basically you just pick one of the holes, this one let's say, and then you're gonna measure across to either one of these holes. But when you measure, it's from the center of the starting hole to the furthest edge of whatever hole you measure to.
So on this one it'll measure four and a half inches. So it's a five lug, four and a half inch bolt pattern. It does use the wheel lug size of a half inch by 20 and the weight capacity on just the wheel is 2,830 pounds. If you notice, this wheel does not come with a center cap. We do sell those separately if you want one. You do wanna make sure to get a center cap that'll have a diameter of 3.19 inches which is the diameter of the pilot hole right here 'cause your center cap will go through this hole to install it. The tire 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 also use a nylon tread firming belt overlay around the tire to help prevent tread separation. This is an ST tire, which stands for special trailer tire, uses sturdy sidewall so they can handle heavy loads. It is created specifically for trailers. It's not intended for use in any other vehicles. The tire size which will be stamped on the side wall. ST for special trailer 20575R15 R means it's a radial. Section width on this is eight inches. Overall diameter from the bottom to the top where it's inflated, it's 27.2 inches. And this is a load range D which means it's an eight ply rated tire. So the maximum load capacity on this is 2,150 pounds at 65 psi. Now the trailer tires are now coming through with speed rating on 'em. Speed rating is designated by a letter designation and they stamp it on the sidewall of the tire. So just to let you know where it's at right after the size we just went over, two numbers you'll see for a load index and then you'll see a letter M. Speed rating M will mean 81 miles per hour. This does come with a two year platinum plus warranty which includes emergency tire change service and other benefits and this assembly does meet the DOT Department of Transportation specifications and it will exceed federal motor vehicle safety standards. But that's gonna do it for the review on this Taskmaster Provider ST205/75R15 radial trailer tire in a load range D mounted on this 15 inch Vesper silver modular steel trailer wheel with the five on four and a half inch bolt pattern.
