As some have stated, some tire dealer won't deviate from the stock recommended tire size or design. I'm just saying that it is probably a liability issue as to why they won't.
Everyone do as they please but I prefer not to take the chance of a possible legal issue because I used LT tires on an RV that came with ST tires and marked on the spec tag as such, but I do make sure I have good quality tires to prevent possible blowouts.
I want and will always use ST tires on my toy hauler simply because I feel that what I read about tire design that the ST tires stiffer sidewalls are designed for the side loading or sliding sideways as you have to do with a tri-axle trailer making turns.
But again that's my opinion and everyone can and will do as they see fit.
All I wanted to do was to get the thought out there because of the possible liability issue in our sue happy society.
