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.
Corrosion-Resistant Finish
The steel wheel goes through a 3-step finishing process that makes it both attractive and corrosion resistant. The wheel is first submerged in a zinc phosphate bath to ensure good paint adhesion. It is then e-coated with an acrylic primer base and the outboard side is finished with baked-on DuPont powder paint. The light e-coat on the inboard side of the wheel reduces friction between the wheel and your hub and eliminates the flaking that can occur with a heavily applied paint finish.
The automotive-rated center disc is raised and the stud holes are beveled and uncoated for better clamp force retention. This technology helps the wheel stay tight against your hub without the need for constant retightening.
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 the Taskmaster Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire in a Load Range D, and it's on this 15 inch Vesper white spoke steel trailer wheel with the five on five inch bolt pattern. Now, this tire and wheel assembly is ideal for stock trailers, utility trailers, and campers. Now, what's nice on this assembly, the tire is match mounted and balanced to the wheel for ride comfort and durability. When we say match mounted, match mounting of tires and wheels, that's a process in which the tire's installation position on the wheel is specifically selected to help minimize the final force of imbalance. So the method to match mounting is they align the tire's lightest spot with the wheel's heaviest spot, and that's to eliminate most of the radial force that can cause tire and suspension wear.
Then what they do is the final balancing, and that's done by applying weights to specific spots. On the front, you can see the weights right here. And if we spin it around, on the back also. This is to eliminate any chance of uneven wear or vibration. Now, the wheel itself you can see is a steel wheel.
It is a spoke design, it is sturdy and corrosion resistant. They do use a white acrylic enamel finish to resist chipping and other damage, which works better than the powder coat finishes. And the finish is applied after a zinc phosphate pretreatment, and then it covers an e-coat primer layer. This does give you excellent corrosion resistance with a salt spray rating of more than 1,000 hours. Now, a few measurements on the wheel.
The wheel itself is a 15 inch diameter. The width on just the wheel is six inches wide. And the bolt pattern on this wheel is a five on five inch bolt pattern. And if you wanna measure that on a wheel like this that's an odd number of lugs, what you need to do is pick any hole. Let's say if you pick this hole right here, you'll measure it to either this hole or to this hole, either one.
But when you measure, it's from the center of the starting hole to the furthest edge of whichever hole you measure to. So on this one, it'll measure five inches, so that tells you it's a five on five inch bolt pattern. This does use a wheel lug size of 1/2 inch by 20, and the weight capacity on just the wheel is 2,835 pounds. Now, you might notice that there is no center cap in this wheel. If you do want one, we do sell those separately on our website. You do wanna make sure to get one that'll have the same diameter of the pilot hole right here, 'cause your cap will go through this hole when you install it. Diameter on this one is 3.31 inches. They do use the beveled stud holes to help keep your wheel securely in place on your trailer hub, eliminates the need for concentrate re-tightening of your lug nuts. Now, the tire that's mounted on this is a radial tire. It is constructed with double steel belts, double polyester cords for a nice, long life. It's great for highway use. And they do use a nylon tread firming belt overlay to help prevent tread separation. It is a ST tire, which means special trailer tire, has the sturdy sidewall, so they can handle heavy loads. It is created specifically for trailers, it's not intended for use on other vehicles. The tire size, which will be stamped on the sidewall, ST for special trailer, 225/75R15. The R means that it is a radial. Section width on this, 8.8 inches. Overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's inflated is 28.3. This is a Load Range D, which means it's an eight-ply rated tire, so it has a maximum load capacity of 2,540 pounds at 65 psi. One other thing I do wanna mention is all the new trailer tires have a speed rating on them, and they labeled it on the sidewall with a letter designation. And where that usually is is right after the tire size, you'll see two numbers for the load index, and then there's a letter M that's stamped on there. That'll mean 81 mile per hour speed rating. Now, they do offer a two-year platinum plus warranty, includes emergency tire change service and other benefits. And this assembly does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications, and will exceed the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. But that should do it for the review on this Taskmaster Provider ST225/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire in a Load Range D on this 15 inch Vesper white spoke steel trailer wheel.

Radial tire with automotive-grade tread has an 8-ply rating and a 2,540-lb max load at 65 psi. Rust-resistant 3-step powder coat. Complimentary roadside assistance included. Match mounted and balanced assembly provides longevity and a smooth ride.Perfect fit and match for the existing tire. I was having a hard time trying to find a 5 on 5, until I found etrailer.com will be using this site for any of my trailer needs in the future.
Steve was so friendly and helpful on the phone! We needed a spare for a trip and we're on a time crunch. Steve was able to look up the shipping and tell us when it would get to us. The wheel arrived as stated.
i have never had any concerns ordering thru etrailer, all deliveries have been on time, and quality always what i have expected. i will continue to use etrailer in the future
Best trailer wheel/tire I’ve ever bought
The tire is exactly what I ordered and is adentical match to a previous one that was on the trailer/carhauler.
This company has been great. They are very helpful and courteous, the prices are great and delivery is outstanding. I would highly recommend this company to anyone!
excellent product! They were exactly what I had expected and fit perfect.
Good customer service. Very helpful.
Quick shipping, exactly what I ordered!
I purchased this as a spare for my utility trailer in case I am more than 20 km from my home. I haven't needed to use it yet. It is worth the peace of mind to know that I am not leaving equipment on the side of the road unattended.
The 14 in, 8 ply trailer tires & rims worked perfectly on my 2006 2720 SD Trailmanor. Traveled 150 miles no swaying, no heat build up, just a smooth ride..
I was preparing my trailer for a road trip in a few days and on a Saturday placed an order for two of these tires on modular wheels, along with new hub assemblies, because the website indicated that this item should arrive on Tuesday. Unfortunately, I failed to notice that the delivery date only pertained to the first tire and wheel. The following day I received notice that my order would ship in about 7 days which was unacceptable for my trip timeline. I called etrailer.com Monday morning to cancel my original order and place another, but this time with tires on wagon wheels, which were confirmed to be on hand. The phone representative was amazingly friendly and cooperative in handling my situation. My new order, which also included hubs and tie-down rings, shipped that day and arrived the following day! It was only after installing the new hubs and wheel assemblies that evening that I noticed I had received one "C" and one "D" load rated tire. I called again to see if I could return the pair of mismatched tire and wheel assemblies for something similar that was available for immediate shipment and was advised that I could but would be responsible for the shipping cost ($38.99) of the one assembly that was properly fulfilled by my order. I initially agreed to those terms and placed a third order for slightly lower grade tires that would arrive in time for my trip but soon afterwards changed my mind and called back to cancel that order and arrange for a replacement of the one incorrect tire and wheel assembly. Each time I called, the etrailer representative was very courteous and eager to help resolve my problem. The replacement tire and wheel arrived a couple of days too late for my trip but I am completely satisfied with the quality and appearance of these items, having since completed a 500+ mile trip with them and experienced no problems.
A while ago I bought a trailer which I had planned to turn into a tiny home. Life happened and plans changed, so the trailer sat in my driveway for two years, during which the already-old tires began to rot. I decided the best move was to sell the trailer, but obviously I have to replace the tires first. I found that ordering the tires already mounted was the best option for me (rather than jacking my trailer up, taking the tires off one side at a time, leaving the trailer jacked up and taking the old wheels somewhere to get new tires put on them... then repeating the process with the other side.) I have no experience with tire specs, wheel sizes, etc. But between reading the specs on the existing tires and the helpful measurement information on this site I was able to order the exact right wheels for my trailer. I ordered two (of four) to start because money's tight, but they arrived on time and in perfect condition, and I replaced the old ones in about 40 minutes. They look great and are perfectly inflated. Couldn't be happier! So simple I ordered the other two immediately after writing this review! Now I can sell my trailer and make that money right back!
Had the size I was looking for with a good price. Fast delivery was a plus. I would recommend etrailer for your trailer needs.
Ordered radials to replace puncture prone bias ply tires after a recent flat - again. Tires arrived 2 days after ordering. Packaged well, no damaged, mounted and inflated. The tread looks like car tires and they fill up the fender well. I have a set of Providers on my travel trailer and they have performed well, hoping these will too. I only gave 4 stars because I have no basis to rate their performance but will check back later and share an update.
My tiny trailer came with 12" 55mph rated tires, which were not up to a 14,000 mile 50 day trip around the US, many at 70mph.
These 15" wheels and tires, rated at 81mph, have been GREAT! Took a 22 day 7500 mile trip across 80 in USA and back on TC1 in Canada...most at 70+ mph! I love them.
Peace of mind... the change from 65 mph (top non-sustainable speed) from the OEM tires to these with 81 mph (top non-sustainable speed) has given me real peace of mind after the 1 if the OEM tires blew out on the FL. turnpike going about 65 mph taking the fender & wiring out with it. That is when I did some research on the speed rating for trailer tires! What an eye-opener. So I opted for these with the M speed rating and am very pleased. We have been humming along about 70 mph with no trepidations. Thanks.
Great service from the customer service reps.
Tire and wheel is my secondary back-up for a long trip to Alaska.
Great price
Towing 3K lb Camper-Tires on aluminum rims tow highway plus speed @62psi)- summertime temps on imperfect road surfaces-Blue-ridge Pkwy- never got hot- check balance @1K mi-=perfect- only 14 " In this speed rating -lots of miles Florida Keys to Vermont peaks great all weather performance .
I ordered these wheels and tires for an older fixer-up (I honestly had no idea how much I was going to have to "fix HER up!)travel trailer. They arrived within 24 hours!!!! I was pleasantly shocked and amazed at the fantastic service! Those tires have now been to the Great Lakes, northwest of Chicago, Cincinnati and to local campgrounds. Thank you for providing the means to enjoy family time with my 4 grandchildren and 92 yr old Mom!
I have odd size wheel and rim. Worked great, I have not put many miles on the trailer, but enough to know all is fine
These are great tires and wheels; I replaced both tires/wheels and the spare. They were delivered fast and in perfect condition. We had decided to replace ours because we wanted higher load capacity tires.
If you have old tires on your trailer make sure you check them often. And don't forget to check the inside inside area that's hard to see. I got lucky and replaced mine before it blew and I didn't even know it was bad!
I replaced the wheels/tires that came on my TSC trailer because they were so far out of round you couldn't stand to pull the trailer other than very short trips. I put these on the trailer and it was actually enjoyable to pull. The main demand for this was my wife pulled this trailer behind her Nissan Cube from Ohio to Southern California and back while I got to ride my motorcycle. ;o) Good times. Thanks for the great wheels/tires.
