When you’re towing long distances or running in summer heat, you want a tire that’s built to stay cool and stable at speed. The Taskmaster 5.30R12 Radial Trailer Tire carries a Load Range C rating with a maximum load of 1,050 lbs at 80 psi and a speed rating M for 81 mph. Its radial construction gives better traction and longer tread life on the highway compared to bias tires, so you can travel confidently at true road speeds without worrying about heat buildup or blowouts.
This tire’s internal build is all about durability. It’s constructed with double steel belts and double polyester cords, backed by a nylon tread-firming overlay to help prevent tread separation. The rubber is bake tested—an automotive-grade process—to make sure it holds up over time. It’s an easy pick for anyone who wants a trailer tire that stands up to thousands of highway miles.
Radial plies run at a 90-degree angle to the direction of travel, so they don’t rub against each other when the tire flexes. That design cuts rolling resistance and keeps heat down, which translates into a smoother ride and more predictable handling at speed. You’ll also get longer tread life and improved tracking on straighter runs.
The Taskmaster 5.30R12 meets DOT specifications and exceeds FMVSS standards, so it’s approved for use on public roads. Tread depth bars make it simple to check wear at a glance, while the standard radial tread with continuous ribs offers reliable contact with the pavement for consistent performance trip after trip.
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"

No problens after a year of having them! 75+ mph is a good thing. Handle well on washboard dirt roads also. Fantastic!

The tires are excellent. Very smooth compared to the factory installed tires. Most of the time you cannot detect a boat trailer behind the vehicle. Would buy only radials going forward.

I’ve put over 6,000 miles on the trailer tires I mounted on my Escapade motorcycle trailer in the past year. Couldn’t be more pleased with the tires, even wear across the tires, maintains pressure. I pull the trailer at highway speeds, often at 75 to 80 mph.
