BBaker, just got my Yokohama's installed today, looking forward to many care free miles.
These are LT's rated at 3,042# each, with. DOT date of 3616 which puts them right at six months old.
The tire is listed as Highway, and carries a M+S rating, I like the extra siping for wet traction (braking)!
Extra siping is not necessarily a good thing for the trailer tire. It will cause the tire to grip the pavement too much in tight maneuvers, putting extra strain on the suspension components and try to rip the cap off the tire carcass. Also can lead to tread squirm.
The breaks in the outer ribs are also not the best for a trailer tire.
