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.
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 Provider ST225/75R15 radial trailer tire in a load range D, mounted on this 15 inch black modular steel wheel, with the six on five and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this tire wheel assembly is ideal for stock trailers, utility trailers, and even campers. The wheel uses a nice steel wheel, has the 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 very sturdy and rust resistant. The wheel itself goes through a three-step finishing process, which will include a zinc phosphate bath an e-coat primer, and then a black powder coat on the outside of the wheel. And if we spin it around to the back of the wheel, they actually lightly e-coated on the inside to reduce friction, provide rust resistance. Now this wheel does use the ITR technology. I want to show you what that is.
Basically, it stands for improved torque retention and it's designed to help keep the wheel securely in place on your trailer. Basically right here where the stud holes are, their stud holes are uncoated. And then they're beveled to give you better clamp force retention. The tire on this is a radial tire. It is constructed with double steel belts, double polyester cords for a long life.
It's great for highway use and they do use a nylon tread firming belt overlay to help prevent tread separation. And the tire itself is bake tested to ensure that the rubber will hold up over time. Now, also on this tire, if I spin it around here you can see they use a nice automotive grade tread design, and it has the sipes, the sipes are those cuts that are in the tread blocks. Those sipes will help channel water away from the tire and improve traction during wet, snowy or icy conditions. Now, this is a ST tire, which stands for special trailer tire, and it is designed to couple the strength of a bias tire with the durability and stability of a radial tire.
And it is created specifically for trailers. It's not intended for use on any other vehicles. This assembly does come with a two-year platinum plus warranty, which will include emergency tire change service and other benefits, and the assembly does meet the DOT, which is the department of transportation specifications. And it does exceed the federal motor vehicle safety standards. Few specs on this, starting with the wheel. The diameter of the wheel, just the wheel is 15 inches. The width on just the wheel by itself is six inches wide. The wheel does have a bolt pattern of six on five and a half inches. And if you want to measure that on a wheel, that's an even number of lugs. Like in this case, six. It's pretty easy to do because the lug holes are right across from each other. So you just pick any lug hole. And then you measure from the center of that lug hole to the center of the lug hole right across from it. So on this wheel, it'll measure five and a half inches. So it's a six on five and a half inch bolt pattern. This wheel does use the wheel lug size of a half inch by 20. The weight capacity on just the wheel by itself is 2,830 pounds. And the pilot hole diameter, which is this large hole here in the center of the wheel, goes over the hub on your trailer. Diameter of that opening is 4.25 inches. Now the tire size, which will be stamped on the sidewall is ST for special trailer 225/75R15. The R means that is a radial tire. Section width on this is 8.8 inches. Overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's inflated is 28.3. And this tire is a load range D which means it's an 8 ply rated tire. So it does have a maximum load capacity of 2,540 pounds at 65 PSI. And the last thing I do want to mention is most all the new trailer tires are coming through with a speed rating stamped on them now, and they stamp it on the sidewall by using a letter designation. And where you'll find that is right after the size we just went over, you'll see two numbers for a load index, and at the very end of that, there'll be the letter M, speed rating M, will stand for 81 mile per hour speed rating. But that should do it for the review on this Provider ST225/75R15 radial trailer tire in a load range D mounted on this 15 inch black modular steel wheel with the six on five and a half inch bolt pattern..

Never thought I would order a spare wheel/ tire on the web. Etrailer made it easy! Shipped fast and arrived early. Also arrived in perfect condition. Exactly what I needed and a great price… thanks!
Perfect match! Better tire then what came with the trailer! Fast shipping! Great customer service!
Bought this for a trip to Florida to pickup a used fifth wheel we just purchased. Not knowing the integrity of the current rubber on it was troubling. Concerns were confirmed in Georgia with catastrophic blowout. Used this tire / rim as spare without issue to Michigan. Performed well and has been mounted as underside spare. since
Tire is a standard tire and the silver wheel looks better than the stock white. Overall very satisfied
The tire came in relatively unscathed but was not packaged. I previously ordered a 14" trailer tire that came in a box that was large enough to hold this one. I expected this one to arrive packaged as well.
Exactly what I ordered. The wheel & tire combo arrived quickly and it appears to be great quality as well.
In today's crazy world of false promises and lies, as standard company policy, this company takes customer service back to 60/70's standards where the customer actually gets what is promised. Why only 4 stars then? To show there's always room for improvement and to always strive to become better.
"GREAT JOB etrailer employees"
great price and even backordered I got the order within a week. great service and thank you.
This was an emergency replacement and delivery was fast. Item was exactly as they described. Etrailer has always delivered as promised, I highly recommend them.
Items arrive broken because they put them loose in the same box with spring hangers!
Thanks for the great and fast service.Will order from e trailer without reservation in the future.
This spare tire is exactly what eTrailer said it would be. It looks great. Hopefully I will not need it, lol
no problems so far!
Good looking tire and rim used as a spare for my 2018 Cougar 333MKS which had 16" rim and tires. Still have tire and rim but traded trailer for new Cougar 23MLE which has 15-inch tires, so tire and rim won't fit new trailer. Looking to sell tire and rim so I can get one the right size for new trailer.
Excellent service and shipping!
Very good tire/wheel combination package made it a convenient and timely purchase. Would like to have had the option to upgrade the valve stems to the 100psi metal version to possibly prevent UV from degrading the rubber stems after a few years. I would purchase again. Sure glad to have them delivered to doorstep.
Bought this tire and wheel as a spare. Perfect replacement if needed.
I was more than happy with the spare tire that arrived. Shipping was fast and on time and the tire was balanced! I would absolutely buy from etrailer again
