Convert ST tires to LT tires
Hi everyone How do you convert ST tires size to LT tires size? For example 235/80R/16 load range E to a light truck tire size.

My old Tow Masters were like bicycle tires compared to the Michelin Ribs I now have. You could grab one of the Tow Masters and wrinkle it up with one hand. In addition the Michelins weigh about 20 pounds more.B.O.
I found the same thing when I replaced my no name China bomb ST tires. They were very light and the sidewalls felt thin and flimsy. However, I too had heard that ST's were stiffer walled but in practice I find that completely false.
The only 2 ST tires I've had good luck with and no blowouts have been Maxxis and Hercules. That latter is one of the few ST's made in USA. All others I've tried, Greenball, Tow Master, Carlisle, Master Track have all blown out with low mileage and all had very thin weak sidewalls.
