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
This wheel 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 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.
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.
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.

Jeff: Hello everybody. This is Jeff etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at this Provider ST23585/R16 Radial Trailer Tire in a load range G on this 16 inch Vesper white modular steel wheel with the 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern. Now this tire and wheel assembly is ideal for boat trailers, stock trailers, utility trailers, and even campers. It's a nice heavy duty sturdy steel wheel that the tire's mounted on and the wheel has a modular design. And when we say modular design, that's the one that has the round holes all the way around the wheel.
This wheel is a white acrylic enamel finish, resists chipping and other damage. It's a lot better than your powder coat finishes and the finish is applied after a zinc phosphate pre-treatment and then it's covered with an e-coat primer layer. It does offer actually corrosion resistance with a salt spray rating of more than a thousand hours.This wheel does use the ITR technology, which is improved torque retention. This is designed to help keep the wheel securely in place on your trailer. Basically they use the uncoated stud holes that are beveled off for better clamp force retention.
Now the tire that's mounted on this as a radial tire. It is constructed with double steel belts, double polyester cords for a lot longer life. It is great for highway use and they do use a nylon tread firming belt overlay around the tire to help prevent tread separation. They do offer tread depth bars, just like in your passenger car tires that give you a quick visual indication of the tread wear. And the tire is bake tested to ensure that the rubber holds up over time.
This tire is an ST tire, which means it's a special trailer tire design. It has sturdy sidewalls so that it can handle heavy loads, and it is created specifically for 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 vehicle safety standards.A few dimensions on this starting with the wheel. The diameter on the wheel is 16 inches.
The width on just the wheel is 6 inches wide. The bolt pattern on this wheel is an 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern. And if you want to measure that on a bolt pattern, that's an even number of lugs. Like in this case 8. It's pretty easy because the lug holes are right across from each other. So you just pick any hole and you measure from the center of the starting hole to the center of the hole right across from it. So on this wheel, it'll measure 6-1/2 inches. So it's an 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern.Now this does use a wheel lug size of a 1/2 inch by 20 or 9/16ths by 18. The weight capacity on just the wheel is 4,460 pounds. And the pilot hole diameter, which is the large hole here in the center of the wheel, diameter of that opening is 4.88 inches. Now the tire size, which is stamped on the sidewall, ST for special trailer, 23585/R16. The R stands for radial tire. Section width on this is going to be 9.3 inches. Overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's inflated is 31.7. This is a load range G which means it's a 14 ply rated tire. So it does have a maximum load capacity of 4,400 pounds at 110 PSI.And the last thing I do want to mention most all the new trailer tires are coming through with speed ratings now, and the speed rating is always designated on the tire by a letter designation. So on this one, if you go after the size we just went through, you'll see two numbers for the load index, and then the letter M. And right after it, we'll say 110 PSI for the load capacity. The letter M is the speed rating. So that'll mean this is an 81 mile per hour speed rating.But that should do it for the review on this Provider ST23585/R16 Radial Trailer Tire in the load range G on this 16 inch Vesper white modular steel wheel with the 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern.

Excellent service! I was immediately notified the wheel I ordered was not available until November but was given another option of a wheel that could ship immediately. etrailer shipped the alternate wheel and I just received it within a few days. The wheel looks just like the original one ordered. I will definitely order from etrailer on all my trailer needs.

Excellent quality wheel and tire. I installed 4 on a 7x16 enclosed cargo trailer. Look great, smooth and comfortable, handle the load well. After 1 year and 3000 miles, all are holding up well and no issues after going through a Michigan winter.

Had a blowout on the second use
Review from a similar Provider Vesper in Trailer Tires and Wheels
I upgraded my travel trailer to slightly larger wheels and after looking around at prices I settled on these from etrailer.com. I have had the trailer out for one trip (about 375 miles) traveling at a variety of speeds. The trailer handles like a champ and these tires met my expectations completely. You might wonder why this isn't a 5 star rating. Well with only one trip with a small number of miles under our belt I don't want to oversell the product

Review from a similar Provider Vesper in Trailer Tires and Wheels
I just received these so I can not comment on how good of a tire they are. I bought these to replace 7 year old tires on a cargo trailer that came with it originally.It probably has less than 5000 miles on it. If these last me another 7 years I will be happy. Not sure about having them filled with the nitrogen since this will be the first tires I have ever had it in. Will update review after I have a chance to drive with them on.
