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.
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.
This aluminum wheel comes with steel inserts in the lug nut wells. The inserts are pressed into the aluminum, and they help prevent the holes from wearing down over time. This ensures that the wheel stays secured to your trailer hub and that you won't have to constantly retorque the lug nuts.
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.
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.

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.

Speaker 1: Today we're going to take a look at the Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire in a load range C, on this 15" Black Viking Aluminum Wheel with the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.Now, this tire-and-wheel assembly is ideal for RVs, campers, and trailers. The wheel is a nice aluminum wheel. It's very durable, lightweight, and rustproof. It is the Viking Series Valhalla design, which is an all-black five-spoke, and if you notice, it has machine accents around the lip here. It provides a nice bold, sleek look for your trailer.Now, the front and back of the wheel does have a nice protective clear coating on it, and if you notice, it does include the center cap. The center cap is a nice shiny chrome, and you always install it from the rear, and then when you bolt your wheel up onto your trailer, it'll hold it into place.
It does use steel inserts on this wheel, and the lug nut wells help keep the well securely in place on the hub. It prevents the holes from wearing down, and eliminates the need for constant re-tightening of your lug nuts.Now, the tire on this is a radial tire. It's constructed with double steel belts, double polyester cords. It's great for highway use. They do use a nylon tread-firming belt overlay around the tire to help prevent tread separation.
They do use tread depth bars in the tire grooves, like you'll see in your passenger car tires. That gives you a quick visual indication of the tread wear on the tire. This tire is bake tested to ensure that the rubber hold will hold up over time.This tire does use the Automotive-grade tread design, and when we say that, if you look at the tread blocks, it'll have the cuts in it. Those are called sipes, and what that does is that breaks up the underneath the tire and helps channel it away from underneath to improve traction during any wet, snowy, or icy conditions.This tire is a special trailer tire design. It'll couple the strength of a bias tire with the durability and stability of a radial tire, and it is created specifically for trailers, not intended for use on any other vehicles.This whole assembly does come with a 2-Year Platinum Plus warranty, which includes complementary roadside assistance.
Basically, if your trailer has a flat tire, you can call their help line, and a technician will come change out the flat tire with your existing inflated spare tire. This service is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.This assembly does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation, specifications, and the SAE standards.A few specs on this, starting with the wheel. The diameter of the wheel, just slide the cap out of here. The diameter is always measured inside to inside, or bead seed to bead seed. This'll be 15".
The width on just the wheel is 5" wide. Bolt pattern on this wheel is a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, and if you want to measure that on a wheel that's an odd number of lugs, in this case, five, you just pick one of the holes. Let's say this one. Then you'll measure across to either one of these holes, but when you measure, it's from the center of the starting hole to the furthest edge of the hole that you go to. This one will measure 4-1/2", so it's a five lug, 4-1/2" bolt pattern. It does use a wheel lug size of 1/2" by 20.Pilot hole diameter, that's the large hole here in the center of the wheel, goes over the hub on your trailer. That is 3.19". Now, the wheel capacity on just the wheel is 2,150 pounds. Now, the tire size, the tire size will be stamped on the side of the tire. You can see right here, it'll say ST for Special Trailer, 205/75R15. The R means it's a radial design tire. Section width on this is going to be 8". Overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's inflated, it's 27.1. This tire is a load range C, which means it's a six-ply rated tire. It has a maximum load capacity of 1,820 pounds at 50 psi.The last thing I do want to mention is most all the new trailer tires are coming through with speed ratings now, and on a speed rating on a tire, they'll always designate by putting a letter designation on it. Where you find that is if you look at the size right here we just went over. Right after the tire size will be two numbers, which are the load index, and then the letter M after that. So, speed rating M will mean this has a 81 mile per hour speed rating.But that should do it for the review on the Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire in a load range C on the 15" Black Viking Aluminum Wheel with the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern.

Radial tire with automotive-grade tread has 6-ply rating and 1,820-lb maximum load at 50 psi. Complimentary roadside assistance included. Assembly is match mounted and balanced providing longevity and a smooth ride.Love these wheels and tires! Much better than the cheap tires that came on my trailer. Customer service at etrailer is also top notch, I ordered the wrong wheels (my fault not theirs) and they went above and beyond to get me the right set out to me before I left on my trip. I'll be a customer for life.
All 4 rims with mounted tires arrived in a timely manner. I installed new rims and tires. We found that the new radial tires and rims road smooth for class C rated tires - (Previously we ran C rated bias ply tires - very stiff side walls - ruff riding tires also tread wear didn't last as expected).
So far the tires and rims are working well carrying loads as expected and also look great.
Ordered wheels on internet the next day got email saying they didn’t have the wheels I had ordered. But they had a set that where just like ones I had ordered. We changed order and they sent them right out got wheels in couple days. They did great job staying in contact with me after order and till I received product.
Great set of Tires & Aluminium wheels; trailer looks awesome!! Thanks
Very fast delivery. Excellent service.

3K miles on the tirewheel and still looks like new. Im very happy with these tires.
Delivered faster than expected. These guys know it they are doing! They know their product and industry well.
I had to wait about six months for this order to be delivered, but it was due to supply chain issues, something out of etrailers control. Through the entire process etrailer kept me updated with monthly emails.
They emailed me on Monday and let me know the items were in and that I would have them by Wednesday. They were actually delivered on Tuesday.
It was a long wait, but I am very happy with the way etrailer handled everything and I’m very happy with the items I ordered.
These wheels and tires make my 2003 Triton TR-186 look like a brand new boat. Very satisfied with the speed of shipping and engagement by the E-trailer staff to get these to me. Only issue was that I couldn't use the center caps as they are too short for my bearing buddies. I think they look great even without them.
Excellent wheel and tire set up. Arrived quickly as always from eTrailer. Had them balanced and installed then racked up 10K miles through everything from normal road conditions to snow, ice and slop conditions. These tires are on my cargo trailer mainly used for hauling snowmobiles and motorcycles. I no longer worry about my trailer tires while traveling.
Love the wheel and tire combo and quick shipping. Only issue was they did not come with center caps as stated in the description. However, I was not intending on using the center caps anyway.
I used these on my shorelander boat trailer that had 14 inch wheels. Worked great plenty of clearance. Very heavy Cobalt 21 ft boat for it's size. Holds the load well.
Wow, this wheel not only looks great, but you can immediately see how much better quality the tire is than the OEM E-rated tires. I feel much more confident in these tires as I travel with my large Keystone 5th Wheel RV.
Wheels and tires shipped very fast. They were packaged well and no damage. They look awesome and pull very smooth on my boat trailer. I will purchase again when needed.
Awesome tires I put them on our 22' Load Trail tilt deck. We haul our Cat 259D and 305C on it just about every day and I have no complaints. Tread wear so far is not noticeable at all. Rims are holding up great to harsh winters here in Michigan. I have several friends that have purchased same package due to our experience.
Wheels and tires are good. Shipping not so good. They were backordered, Pushed center caps wrapped in 1 layer of bubble wrap into center of wheels and sent UPS with no other means of protection. One center cap missing when arrived. They sent a replacement cap that did not match the other 3.
I've owned it for about a year now, and had no issues. Also those wheels look great on my boat trailer. Definitely would recommend it.
Bought these to replace my E rated 5 year old tires and rims. Went to G rated w rims combo. Service was fast and communication was great. Super fast shipping. Hope these work well, they look great!
Excellent customer service and speedy delivery wheels arrived well packaged with no damage. These wheels really added a great look to the trailer
Bought this wheel tire combo to replace non matching wheels on a travel trailer. They showed up fast and look great!
Times and wheels came quick, very happy with them. Any questions you ask, they respond fast to them and Nicely. Overall a great company to deal with. Thanks again.
perfect condition, very happy with purc hase
Great wheel and tire combo. looks great on my trailer.
Center caps were missing and the wheels weren't even packaged. Even the ups guy made a comment about how poorly it was packaged. Shrink wrap around the tread, that's it.

The tires and wheel installed on the trailer rides well, the tires wheels look great, center caps had tiny nipples that have come Off all my center caps but overall no one would notice the tabs missing that unless they knew that they were there in the first place - I would buy them again if they fix the center caps.
