If you ever ran a set of LT tires on your rig you would never go back.
ST tires are made with stiffer and additional plies in the side walls, thus when turning ,your trailer's 2nd or 3rd axle being stationary causes these other tires to slide around corners. LT tires lack these added plies. But again many RV owners have switched from the ST tires to the LT tires. It's your rig, so you have to make that choice. ST tires also contain additional rubber compounds that are designed to withstand long exposure to the sun, thus they say, less sidewall cracking.

Wow, somebody got out of bed on the wrong side this AM. We all read different materials and articles, thus there is a wide opinion about different tires. Their advantages and disadvantages. Everyone has their opinion on makes, sizes, ETC, I hope that won't change.
