Taskmaster ST235/80R16 Radial Trailer

Can you pronounce the parent companies name?

I am fairly certain that this is an American based company. I do think that they are actually made over seas. The Provider tires, on my FW, are also made by this company. You can read about them on e-trailer and other major trailer tire sources.

I've had mine 4 years now, with excellent results. They have the extra cap, to make them run cooler. They are also rated M, which is 81 mph. I don't normally tow more than 65, but nice to have a little cushion.

:h

Question is are you looking to save money, or have a quality tire??

I think I would be looking for quality in a brand I already know, the great feeling of saving even $600 on a set of tires, quickly fades when a blowout causes $2,000+ worth of damage to your 5er. :S

goodyear G614 or Sailun S637/everything else is china junk

Another ST tire manufactured in Asia which could mean less than desirable results when towing. If you don't want to go with an LT tire made in the USA, I would go with at least a Maxxis ST tire as they have a good following from many forum members. Carlisle ST tires have been redesigned and are also getting some good feedback. One blowout can cause thousands in damage to a 5er, trying to save a few hundred can cost dearly down the road.

Michelin XP Rib or Bridgestone Duravis R250 (basically a Rib, but cheaper), if available in that size.

There are a few taskmaster posts on here.

Good choices if the OP's axles are 6k or less.

We have had good luck with the Sailun's on our Montana, we will be going on 3 yrs. on them in the spring. Good Luck and Happy Camping !!

The commercial trailer industry (example; PJ and Starlite) has been using the Provider by Taskmaster for several years as OEM or a upgrade option on certain size trailers.
I have 4 ST235/85-16 E at 3640 lb M speed rated on a 12k car hauler. This trailer makes three to five 220 mile runs a month at 70-75 mph speeds when allowed. They should work great for RV trailers also.
The Provider by Taskmaster is a fabric carcass tire with the usual two steel tread belts and a nylon cap to help with tread separation issues.
