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. I won't even get into the fact that LT tires are held to a higher testing standard than 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. The only half way good thing is that Goodyear stepped up and replaced the tires plus paid to have all the damage fixed. Just out my time.
I do have a tire monitor system and it alarmed just as the tire came apart. Also, all the check the tire pressures, temps and so forth was done but still the tires went away.

OK. You make one person to report that. How many can say the same thing about blowouts with ST tires? My guess it would be dozens of people on this site alone.
