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.

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this Provider ST225/75R15 load range E radial trailer tire with this 15 inch Vesper white spoke wheel with a 6 on 5 1/2 inch bolt pattern. Now, this tire and wheel assembly is going to be ideal for your stock trailers, utility trailers, and campers. This special tire, special trailer tire, or ST tire, has sturdy sidewalls so that it can handle heavy loads, and it is created specifically for trailers and not intended for use on other vehicles. Now, this assembly does feature the tire match mounted and balance to this wheel for ride comfort and durability. The match mounting of tires and wheels, in case you don't know, is a process in which the tire installation position on the wheel is specifically selected to help minimize the final force of imbalance.
The method of match mounting involves aligning the tire's lightest spot with the wheel's heaviest spot to eliminate most of the radial force that can cause tire and suspension wear. Then, a final balance is done by applying weights to specific spots on the wheel to eliminate any chance of uneven wear or vibration. Now this radial tire is constructed with double steel belts and double polyester cords for a long life. As you know, radial ply tires are designed for trailers that are towed on the highway, and the nylon tread-firming belt overlays are gonna help prevent tread separation. This tire has been bake tested to ensure that the rubber holds over time.
And the automotive-grade treads has sipes that are gonna channel water away from the tire to improve traction during wet, snowy, or icy conditions. So as I mentioned at the beginning of our time together, and as we have stamped here on our tire, this is an ST225/75R15. The section width is 8.78 inches. The outer diameter is 28.31 inches. This is a load range E tire, meaning it has a 10 ply rating.
The maximum load is 2,830 pounds at 80 psi. And this has a speed rating of M, indicating a maximum speed of 81 miles per hour. Now, this Vesper steel wheel with this spoke design is sturdy and corrosion-resistant. The white acrylic enamel finish is going to resist chipping and other damage better than powder-coated finishes. This finish is applied after a zinc phosphate pretreatment and covers an e-coat primer layer.
So this is gonna give you excellent corrosion resistance, with a salt spray rating of more than 1,000 hours. I do wanna point out that the beveled stud holes are gonna help keep this wheel securely in place on your trailer hub, eliminating the need for constant retightening of the lug nuts. The dimensions of our wheel, measuring bee seat to bee seat, where the tire actually meets the wheel, is 15 inches in diameter, and the width of our wheel, again, measuring bee seat to bee seat is six inches. And our bolt pattern is 6 on 5 1/2 inches. And in case you don't know, the first number in the bolt pattern is the number of bolt holes and the second number is the diameter in inches of the circle on which the bolt holes sit. So to determine the bolt circle diameter on wheels with an even number of bolt holes, as we have here, you're simply going to measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the bolt hole directly across from it. The capacity of this wheel is 2,830 pounds. The wheel stud size is 1/2 inch by 20. The center cap is not included. But if you decide to pick one up, you just wanna make sure that it fits the diameter of 4.25 inches. This assembly does meet the Department of Transportation specification, and it does exceed the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards specifications. And just one final note, this tire and wheel assembly does come with a Platinum Plus warranty that includes complimentary roadside assistance for two years. So if your trailer has a flat tire, simply call their helpline, and a technician will come and change out the flat tire with your existing inflated spare tire. And that service is gonna be available to you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition to the roadside assistance, this warranty will also include other benefits and services. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together with helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

Assembly is match mounted and balanced.The tire and rim look awesome.. delivery came on time Joshua b at e trailer was very helpful to work with
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
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 were delivered ahead of schedule and in great shape. Trailer has made trailer tire buying simple.
Easy to buy the right tire and rim. Unbelievable fast shipping. Thanks for the great service.
Great upgrade to my gooseneck with 7k Dexter axles. Come mounted AND balanced. Will buy these exact ones again from etrailer!
Bought as a spare for my trailer. Came in a timely manner and is an exact match to the wheels I have on my trailer. Would purchase from etrailer again!
Great experience tire was mounted balanced in good shape.
Great item. Quality parts used. Unfortunately it will not work on my trailer.
I replaced 6 year old 14' cargo trailer wheels and tires with Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" White Vesper Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LRD
Item # TA46MR. I had such good luck with the Provider brand tires that I wanted to stick with that brand. etrailer as always have great customer support that I feel compelled to use them again!
Every time I do business with E-trailer, I always get what I ordered and get it on time.
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.
Excellent trailer wheel and tire! Exactly like the ones on the trailer.
Etrailer has been my supplier for hitches, snow chains and now wheels with pre-mounted tires. Excellent service never a problem.
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
Exactly what I was looking for.
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.
Great product shipped fast and fair pri ce.
Lori made ordering a breeze! The wheel and tire package was delivered on time and quality was as expected
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
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.
Perfect fit, Perfect Service. Perfect communication. Couldn't ask for a better company. Ordered spare tire the exact wheel and tire was in stock and shipped to order right away. Knew exactly the transit complete visibility and ETA. Tire was boxed up and was delivered with no damages.
Tires arrived quickly and in excellent shape. Great improvement over the dated stock ones that were on the trailer. Thank you!
Great wheel and tire combo. I ordered these and they got here quickly without any issues. They came already balanced so one less thing to worry about. I will definitely be ordering from here again.
As usual, the products I order through e-trailer is quick delivery and a great product.
