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 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.

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this Provider ST225/75R15 Load Range E radial trailer tire with this 15 inch Vesper black mod wheel with a six on five and a half inch bolt pattern. Now this tire and wheel assembly is going to be great for your stock trailers, your utility trailers and campers. This special trailer tire or ST tire has sturdy sidewalls so that it can handle heavy loads. And this is created specifically for trailers and not intended for use on other vehicles. Now this assembly features the tire match mounted and balanced to this wheel for ride comfort and durability.
The match mounting of tires and wheels is a process in which the tire installation position on the wheel is specifically selected to help minimize the final force of imbalance. The method of match mounting involves aligning the tire's lightest spot with the wheel's heaviest spot to eliminate most of that radial force that can cause tire and suspension wear. Then a final balance is done by applying weights to specific spots on the wheel as you can see here on this assembly. That's gonna help eliminate any chance of uneven wear or vibration. So this radial tire is constructed with double steel belts and double polyester cords for a long life.
As you know, radial ply tires are designed for trailers that are towed on the highway and the nylon tread firming belt overlays are gonna help prevent tread separation. This tire has been bake tested to ensure that the rubber holds over time. And then the automotive grade tread has sipes that are gonna channel water away from the tire to improve traction during wet, snowy, or icy conditions. So as I stated at the beginning of our time together, and as we have stamped here on our tire, this is an ST225/75R15. The section width is 8.78 inches.
The outer diameter is 28.31 inches. This is a load range E tire, meaning it has a 10 ply rating and the maximum load is 2,830 pounds at 80 psi. And this has a speed rating of M, indicating a maximum speed of 81 miles per hour. Now this Vesper steel wheel with this mod design that you see here is sturdy, it's corrosion resistant. The black acrylic enamel finish is going to resist chipping and other damage better than powder coat finishes.
This finish is applied after a zinc phosphate pre-treatment and it covers an E-coat primer layer. So this is going to give you excellent corrosion resistance with a salt spray rating of more than 1,000 hours. The beveled stud holes are gonna help keep this wheel securely in place on your trailer hub, eliminating the need for constant re-tightening of the lug nuts. The dimensions of our wheel, looking at the diameter first measuring bead-seat-to-bead-seat where the tire actually sits on the wheel itself, it's gonna be 15 inches in diameter and the width is gonna be six inches wide and our bolt pattern is six on five and a half inches. And in case you don't know, the first number in the bolt pattern is the number of holes, and the second number is the diameter in inches of the circle on which the bolt holes sit. So to determine the bolt circle diameter on wheels with an even number of bolt holes as we have here, you're gonna simply measure from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the other bolt hole directly across from it. The wheel capacity is 3,080 pounds. The wheel stud size is half an inch by twenty, the center cap is sold separately, but if you pick one up, you just wanna make sure that it fits a pilot diameter of 4.25 inches. Now this assembly does meet the Department of Transportation specifications and it does exceed the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. And one final note, this tire and wheel assembly does come with a platinum plus warranty that includes complimentary roadside assistance for two years. So if your trailer has a flat tire, you simply call their helpline and a technician will come and change out the flat tire with your existing inflated spare tire. And that service is available to you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And in addition to the roadside assistance, this warranty will also include other benefits. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
