In my many years of 5th wheel rving I have never had a blow out running LT tires. However I can say that I have owned a trailer that has experienced two blow outs before I ever took actual delivery. Of course it was wearing OEM China made ST tires.
Anyway, back to the base of my post. I was talking to my tire dealer who mentioned that Carlisle has come out with a new ST trailer tire in the 235/82-16 size in a HD F-rated version. These are speed rated at 75mph, 12ply tires.
nyone have any first hand experience running these latest Carlisle tires? If so do you care to share any information?
If you're having great success with LTs why consider going back to STs? What does the ST provide that you aren't getting with LTs? Is the weight rating the attraction? is the risk worth the extra weight?
