Can of Worms.. LT vs ST 13K trailer
Morning, Will try to keep this as simple as possible. Doing the investigation of new tires. I was completely convinced to go with either Duravis or XPS LT tires . My rig GVWR is 12.7 loaded wit...

Your only real question is do you go with LT235/85R16E or LT245/75R16E. That question is usually answered by measuring the center to center distance of your axles. For the 235 you need at least 33" C to C. Pin weight is not included the the axle carrying capacity. Your tires will be carrying a little over 10K, and LT rated at 3042 pounds are a much better choice than cheap ST tires.
I ran RIBs for 6.5 years and around 40K+ miles before selling them for 200 bucks on CL. I put R250's on this time base on about -50 bucks each. Our trailers are similar in size and weight. Both are good tires for a trailer.
Do it and don't look back. Chris
