Specs:
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.
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.

Fits 16" wheels.I ordered (2) of these Taskmaster tires for my 5th wheel camper and they arrived at a very impressive delivery of four business days. WOW!! Not too happy about the Mfr. date stamped on both tires (2014). All trailer Mfrs. recommend replacing trailer tires after 7 years of date stamped on sidewall which means that these tires have approx. 2/3 of life left. Trailer tires are notorious for dry rot and split sidewalls which usually starts to show at 6 to 7 years of date stamped. So that means that I have approx. 4 years of use. Not pleased after spending that much on each. It was very obvious that these tires were sitting in a warehouse for a very long period with the amount of dust and dirt that covered them. The UPS driver was filthy and not happy from handling them as was I. I spoke with a Rep at etrailer.com BEFORE ordering and requested that they PLEASE check the date stamp for current tires and she assured me that they would. That's the advantage of buying locally. You can check the date on each tire before purchase or mounting. I haven't mounted them and haven't checked the cost to ship back. The shame is that the tires seem very well made and of extremely good quality. Just not sure what to do. Thank you, One unhappy camper.

About a year ago, after several days of internet search, I purchased the Taskmaster ST235/80R16 tires for my fifth wheel trailer. I tow this fifth wheel 5,000 to 8,000 miles annually and wanted to equip it with the best tires available. Most of the “E” rated tires available for my fifth wheel were “speed rated” for 65 miles per hour and I was looking for more. The TTWTRTM2358016E tires that I purchased are speed rated for 75 miles per hour. So far I have put 5,000 trouble-free miles on these tires and I’m very satisfied. I highly recommend these tires! I also recommend that you install a tire monitoring system on each trailer tire!
I was skeptical at first of these tires being a brand I've never heard of so I only ordered two to start with. The tires seemed well made and had a higher speed rating that I was looking for. After running the two for part of a season on my 12k pound 5th wheel with no problems I ordered the other two. I would have to say for the money I couldn't be more happy! I definitely recommend these tires to anyone and have had zero problems with them running 75mph down the interstate! Thanks guys for the quality tires!
Finally got the tires mounted and installed, they look like a pretty good tire, only time tell. Mounted on a triple axle trailer that is tough on the front axle tires. Put these on the middle axle to start with to see how they wear. etrailer was great for shopping and they were shipped out FAST. Thanks Guys
Gary - 11/18/2018My excellence that I marked on my review is for the prompt service and delivery on the four 10 ply tires that I bought for my 15000 pound fifth wheel. Tire ride and wear are yet to be determined.
David L - 03/25/2018I bought 4 of these tires to put on a 24 ft equipment trailer i haul a tractor and bush hog on. I purchased these tires for the load and speed rating as I traversed 210 miles of interstate highway at higher speed than other tires recommended. These tires have performed wonderfully and have excellent tread wear. I am more than pleased with these tires and have a peace of mind when moving equipment or other loads over distance at highway speeds. I will buy products from your company again as I have need. Thank you for a great product and incredible customer service
These tires have been reliable over the past year. Have several long trips and many short trips on them so far. They track nicely. Dont get overly hot. For the price and not being made in U.S.A. they are a good tire. My fifth wheel is appox. 12000 lbs dry. These handle the weight well.
Service was great tire was an exact mat ch
I received these tires (4) in good condition and was pleased with how quickly I got them. Checked the DOT code on them which was 2017 so they haven't been sitting in warehouses for too long. They are the exact size as required on my 2006 Montana fifth wheel 35'. Haven't had them mounted yet so I can't give a review on the ride and wear quality. They have a deep tread and appear well built.
The tires just arrived, not installed yet. At any rate, they look good and were delivered promptly, and the website is very user friendly. Excellent communication, and it was nice to have the tracking numbers. Made in China, not my preference, but sometimes you don't have a choice. Most of the previous items I've bought from etrailer are made in USA, so I feel like they are making an effort. These tires will replace the 10 year old weather checked ones that are original.
Fast delivery!! Easy website to use and found exactly what we needed. Wonderful to have a supplier that we can depend on.
I love dealing with etrailer! Ordered a couple of time from you guys and I have been very satisfied with the whole experience! Trying to get more people I know to buy from you guys too! Thanks very much etrailer! Job well done!
Steven T - 11/06/2018I ordered 4 tires for my fifth wheel camper on Monday and they were received on Wednesday. You can't do better than that! Your sales folks were very helpful in taking the time to educate me on which tires were best for my camper. I experienced two flats on one trip about three weeks ago and wanted to make sure I was getting the best product for my money. As far as the product goes, I have not had a chance to put the tires on my rims as my trailer is in the shop being repaired as a result of the flats.
Trailer pulled extra smooth. Went from a D rated to an E rated . Loved the fact that I had the extra capacity of these tires. I will recommend these tires, look great and fast delivery!!! Thanks Etrailer!!!
Great price and very good service.
Received tires in a timely period, all 4 tires had manufacture date within the previous 6 months. They balanced out with a usual amount of tire weights. Very happy with the process and the product. If they wear well I would increase my rating to a 5. (The original factory tires (4), a different brand, were all separating. I was fortunate not have a failure even though half of the tread remained.)
EASY TO NAVIGATE ND FAST SHIPPING
I ordered tires for my fifth wheel. They arrived extremely quick. The website is very helping in deciding which tires to get. I'll be purchasing from your site in the future. Thanks so much
Great price on a replacement tire for my dump trailer. Delivery was within a few days. I have these tires on both my trailers and have been very happy with their performance.
I am very HAPPY with service and your follow up on the tires that we order from you ! ETRAILER CORPORATION is our first look for parts, THANK-YOU. SDP
I buy a considerable amount of products online, and typically do not write reviews, but in this case I will make a exception as the web site, the shipping, the tracking and the information online was excellent.
Great fast ship thanks
The trailer tire was delivered as promised and a great looking piece. A big deal for me was the date of manufacture. The date code was the same month as delivered. Great website to navigate and overall a good experience. I will purchase equipment in the future from this vendor.
I thank you for the rim and tire package and the tire I just order it's goin to match my other tires on trailer and I will have a spare. Thanks agin Ron
These tires have lasted on our trailer about 50000 miles and I look forward to the set I just ordered. The tires were delivered incredibly quickly which is always a plus.
