Specs:
Taskmaster radials have 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. Taskmaster 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.

Radial tire has a ply rating of 6 and a 990-lb max load at 90 psi. Constructed of double steel belts and double polyester cords with a nylon overlay. Great for highway use. Fits 12" wheels.These Taskmaster 4.80R12 radials replaced a set of bias-ply tires that came with a 2003 LoadRite galvanized 5' x 8' flatbed single-axle utility trailer I purchased in June, 2022. After making several short local runs, the new tires got their first real workout during a trip from Pennsylvania to Georgia. The trailer was loaded to about 2/3 of its rated 1,620-lb. capacity. Those of you who travel up and down the East coast know how rough some sections of major roadways can be. In all conditions encountered (including driving rain, "uneven lanes" and flooded highways) the tires tracked rock steady and performed flawlessly. As I previously experienced with etrailer, customer service, website information and delivery were all 5-star. The site's recommendation of radial tires for highway-use applications was the main factor in my decision to buy this product and, so far, I am very pleased with the results.
Just got delivered. They are not installed yet but they look good. We will see once they are installed and on my trailer. Need tired for freeway use so hopefully they hold up on my freedom trailer

Sweet trailer! These will look awesome. Maybe send us another picture once theyre installed? Also, thank you for your service!
I bought this tire due to it being one of the most expensive tires on the market. I want my jet ski safe and not on crap tires. I have a triton trailer. I used a ceramic coating on them to hopefully extend their life.
The tires were delivered to my front door very quickly and the quality looks great. Can't wait to get them mounted.

I was wearing out two sets of bias tires per summer. I switched to the Taskmaster 4.80R12 Radial Trailer Tire - Load Range C radial tires, and after many miles on rough asphalt and gravel roads, they are holding up VERY well. Would highly recommend these tires. Looks like they will last at least two more years or more.
Ordered with high pressure valve stems and bearings, races, seals. Seals had spring-tension around the lip which were like my original 1966 Alloy trailer seals! (Had been looking for that type for over 30 years). Even cotter pin supplied with bearings. Everything I needed in short order.
Tires arrived on time as promised and were packed extremely well to ensure no damage. Have yet to put many miles on the tires but so far very impressed and feel that they will provide good service.
Didn’t get 7 miles and my new tire went flat.

Very unusual for that to happen. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you.
I have driven the trailer little since I put these new radial tires on it. They did pull very well for the distance I pulled them. They hold inflation very well
Nice lady helpful on phone order quick ship. Thanks
Excellent tires; this is a replacement set for the same tires I had on my motorcycle trailer. Very pleased with the product
Excellent Customer Service
I like radials but I am not happy with this tire. That said, I did purchase two more as they are the only radial tires in this size that I can find. Before, I was using a 4 ply tire on my trailer that lasted about 2 years. After losing the entire outer tread, I decided to go with this more expensive radial believing it would last longer. IT DID NOT. I got less than 5,000 miles out of it on a 500 pound trailer before the center belt shredded on the left wheel. Perhaps this tire was defective. I’ll try another to find out. Tried loading a picture to show but it say unsuccessful. Guess bad reviews are not shown.

Since trailer tires are built with a thicker side wall they are designed to take a heavier load so they dont really have a mileage rating. Most trailer tires last 5-6 years before they should be replaced. However, there a few reasons for failure. Heat buildup is the leading reason for blow outs so it is a good idea to keep your trailer under the weight capacity of the tires. Overloaded tires allow for heat build up which leads to blow outs. These tires also require max PSI at all times. If they are underinflated tires also leads to heat buildup.
I spent extra money on these tires because I wanted to buy something nicer than the big box store tires. However, Etrailer sent me a pair that were over 2 YEARS OLD! When checking Etrailers website it even says that trailer tires lifespans are suggested to be 4-6 years...
When I reached out to etrailer Amy LE said this was normal practice for them and that I should just be happy with it.
Im sure the tire company is great but the customer service at Etrailer is subpar.
Excellent service and fast delivery!
Worked perfect on small trailer, 8000 m iles.
quick delivery, product exactly as expected, delivery box was sturdy (big, but sturdy)
Beefy tires for a 12 inch wheel. Load range C and takes up to 90 psi. I run them on a utility trailer and they roll down the road just peachy.
Bought a year ago, have not driven with them a lot, but my purpose was to provide margin for highway travel over the stock tires on my Malone kayak trailer (nothing wrong with the stock tires but 65 mph max rating and bias ply construction). The new tires track nice and show no signs of abnormal wear. While the loaded trailer is about 400 lbs, I run the tires at side wall max of 90 psi. From what I have read to date, it seems trailer tires recommendations cluster around the position to run side wall max, 90 psi for these. Delivery was fast as it has always has been with etrailer. Very happy customer.
Replacement tires for my Aluma MCTXL trailer. Pull behind motorcycle.
Quick delivery! Tires look good. Getting them on today. Hopeful that they will perform as good as they look.
Have worked well on boat trailer. Took it to Canada and back with no issues
Great product fast delivery great customer service I will be ordering from you again.

Fantastic, I’m planning on buying the same tire again when it is time to replace them.
Galvanized rim for trailer spare. We live near salt water, and I only buy galvanized rims. Had to buy the tire, valve stem, and rim separately as this size radial tire is not sold as a combo-package, only sell bias ply tires on painteNd rims as combo package. If there was an option to have etrailer mount the tire, I didn’t see it. Fortunately, some of us old guys still know how to put a tire on a rim. The tire, rim & high pressure valve stem are all excellent quality (you always have to smooth the galvanized “barnacles” on a new rim in the seal area). Shipping & delivery was fast, and the tire mounted and inflated easily.

This spare tire fits my trailer mounted manlift, and my son’s 30’ RV trailer. Used it for a short period while I got a new replacement tire. No problems, it’s cheap insurance against getting stranded.
This was my first purchase with etrailer.com. What a great experience and super fast delivery.
Very good looking tire with an M speed rating. I would buy them again.

After 3 East Coast round trips and 5,000+ miles of use, its still a 5-star experience. Thanks, etrailer!
