LT vs ST sharp turns
Getting ready to put on LTs and am curios how they behave under tight turns on pavement. With the STs the tread will grab and you get a lot of sidewall flex. With the LTs I suspect the sidewalls are...

LT tires are winners.
I think all tires in general benefit if you can minimize the scuffing. Repeatedly putting tires in high flex conditions could contribute to tread separation over time.
I make multiple backward/forward corrections to get into tight sites to keep flex to minimum.

I agree with this post. IMO, many FW owners are scuffing their tires, more than needed. On a heavy FW, backing to 90 degrees, or even close to it, puts a lot of stress on tires. I always straighten out a little before this much twist takes place, and then back again.
The quality of the LT, and the higher speed rating, is likely what makes them more able to withstand the abuses given by many RV owners.
