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.
Durable Acrylic Enamel Finish
The wheel on this assembly has a durable acrylic enamel finish on the front. The finish is applied after the wheel goes through an environmentally safe zinc phosphate pre-treatment and is coated with an e-coat primer layer. Compared to powder coat finishes, this finish resists getting chipped from flying road debris or scraped from hitting a curb for a longer period of time. These acrylic enamel wheels performed for more than 1,000 hours in salt spray tests.
The stud holes on this assembly 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.
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.
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.
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 ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire in a Load Range D, mounted on this 15 inch Vesper silver modular 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 even campers. And what's unique on this one, is this assembly, the tire is match-mounted and balanced to the wheel for ride comfort and durability. Now, match-mounting of tires and wheels is a process in which the tire installation position on the wheel is specifically selected to minimize final force of imbalance or to cut down on how much weight is used when you put the balancing weights on there. The method to match-mounting is basically, they align the tire's lightest spot with the wheel's heaviest spot, and eliminates most of the radial force that can cause tire and suspension wear.
Then when they do the final balancing, that's done by applying weight to specific spots on the front and even on the back of the wheel to eliminate any chance of uneven wear or vibration. And I just wanna point out, if you look on the front, you can see the weight right here. Spin it around, you can see the weight right over here, so that means this assembly is balanced. Now, the wheel is a steel wheel, has the modular design, and when I say modular design, that's the one that has the round holes all the way around the wheel, it is very sturdy and corrosion resistant. Now, on this wheel, they do use a silver acrylic enamel finish to resist chipping and other damage better than your powder coat finishes.
The finish is applied after a zinc phosphorate pre-treatment, and then it covers an E-coat primer layer. Gives you excellent corrosion resistance with a salt spray rating of more than a thousand hours. This does also have the beveled stud holes where your lug nuts go to help keep your wheel securely in place on the trailer hub, eliminates the need for constant re-tightening of your lug nuts. Now, if you noticed, this does not come with the center cap. If you do want a center cap, we do sell those separately if you need one.
You do wanna make sure to get a center cap that'll have the same diameter as this pilot hole right here, which is 3.31 inches, 'cause your center cap will install through this hole. Now, the tire that's mounted on this, it 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 around the tire to help prevent tread separation. It is an ST Tire, which stands for special trailer tire, has the sturdy sidewall, so they could handle heavy loads, and it is created specifically for trailers, it's not intended for use on any other vehicles. Does come with a two-year platinum plus warranty, which will include emergency tire change service and other benefits, and this assembly does meet the DOT, Department of Transportation specifications, and it does exceed Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
Just to go through a few specs on the wheel and then the tire, the wheel, the diameter is 15 inches, the width on just the wheel is six inches wide. This wheel does have a bolt pattern of five on five inches, and if you wanna measure that bolt pattern on a wheel that's an odd number of lugs, like in this case, five, it's pretty easy, what you have to do, pick any hole, let's say this one, and then you're gonna 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 whatever hole you measure to. So if we put the ruler on this, it'll measure five inches, so it's a five lug, five inch bolt pattern. Does use a wheel lug size of a half inch by 20, and the weight capacity on just the wheel is 2,830 pounds. Now, the tire size, which will be stamped on the sidewall, ST for special trailer, 205/75R15, R means that it is a radial tire. Section width, eight inches, overall diameter from the bottom to the top when it's inflated is 27.2 inches, and as we mentioned, it's a Load Range D tire, which means it's an eight-ply rated tire, has a maximum load capacity of 2,150 pounds at 65 psi. And the last thing I wanna mention to you is all the new trailer tires are coming through with a speed rating on them now, and they stamp that on the sidewall with a letter designation. And where you'll usually find that is right after the tire size, you'll see two numbers for the load index, and then the letter M. Speed rating M means that this has an 81 mile per hour speed rating. But that should do it for the review on this Taskmaster Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire in a Load Range D on this 15 inch Vesper silver modular steel trailer wheel with the five on five inch bolt pattern.

Amy was extremely helpful. Tracking was great. There was one problem with the shipping company, but tracking showed me what was going on. All arrived safe and sound. I will definitely use this company again.
Happy I found an exact match to the rims on my Delco trailer. E-trailers template to confirm rim hole pattern very helpful too. Also godd shipping box and time to receive.
Shipped my order quickly and I'm really happy with the tire.
Great selection and quick shipping.
Just got the tires and rims. They look good but what year were this tires mfg. DOT 10U. Does that mean they were made in 2010? I sure hope not!!
I replaced 6 year old 14' cargo trailer wheels and tires with Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire w/ 15" White Vesper Mod Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LRD
Item # TA46MR. I had such good luck with the Provider brand tires that I wanted to stick with that brand. etrailer as always have great customer support that I feel compelled to use them again!
Was very happy with the tire and wheel package at first.
Unfortunately the wheels started to rust a few months after the purchase and wasn’t even the winter yet.
When I called about this I was told they wouldn’t replace the wheels.
So the finish on the wheels failed within a few months
Excellent trailer wheel and tire! Exactly like the ones on the trailer.
Delivered literally in 1 day of ordering. This is exactly what I needed. I’m a procrastinator so I needed a spare tire last minute and they DELIVERED! I will definitely be purchasing all 4 new tires soon.
Lori made ordering a breeze! The wheel and tire package was delivered on time and quality was as expected
Etrailer has been my supplier for hitches, snow chains and now wheels with pre-mounted tires. Excellent service never a problem.
I'm more giving the shopping experience 5 stars then the tires as I just received them so I can't speak to quality or reliability just yet but they look great and are balanced which is a huge plus should wear a lot better then what I had before the customer service and shopping experience is amazing they do such a great job of following up and making sure your happy and got everything I will always bring my business to etrailer
Great wheel and tire combo. I ordered these and they got here quickly without any issues. They came already balanced so one less thing to worry about. I will definitely be ordering from here again.
Wheels and tires as advertised. Prompt service and delivery, thank you.
Perfect fit, Perfect Service. Perfect communication. Couldn't ask for a better company. Ordered spare tire the exact wheel and tire was in stock and shipped to order right away. Knew exactly the transit complete visibility and ETA. Tire was boxed up and was delivered with no damages.
Great communication! Product was exactly as ordered and packaged perfect. Arrived today, as promised. Already mounted on my new trailer and looks great!
The tires and rims were a very good value and they work wonderful!
Product is fine, over a month past original estimated ship date is too much. I asked for a small credit or discount in return, and I was denied.
Amazing service from start to finish. Simple ordering process, lightning fast shipping and a phenomenal product. I couldn’t be more pleased with etrailer.
I was very disappointed to see that only the outside of my wheel was painted white. When mounted on my motorcycle trailer, both sides of the wheel are clearly visible. Unbelievable that the miniscule savings afforded by skipping this step is considered justified. I am now stuck, of course, because the delay to exchange or return it would be unacceptable.
If this is indicative of the quality I should expect from etrailer, this will be my last order.
Great upgrade to my gooseneck with 7k Dexter axles. Come mounted AND balanced. Will buy these exact ones again from etrailer!
