My logic is that I can't remember anyone ever telling me about having a blowout going down the road on an LT tire (unless striking debris) but I know of plenty of people who have had multiple blowouts on ST tires.

OK - I'm telling you: I had OEM LT tires on both my Tetons. Total blowouts on this one (2007) was at six (6) with the attending damage to the fiver before I changed to 17.5" and load range J. I know - slow learner. Nearly the same experience with the original Teton (1997, same corrective action.

Not quite the point, unless you switched from OEM Lt's to equal or slightly higher capacity ST's and that solved your blowout issues. OTOH, many OEM ST's have had great results switching to LT's.
