St tires vs LT tires

At eleven years you have been around the forum long enough to have learned the that marketing around ST has not matched their performance. ST tires have been cheap products built originally for local service on utility type trailers. They found their way onto large RV trailers on Americas freeways with very poor results.

Now finally many years later we have seen two new updates to the Carlisle Radial Train and GY now has the new Endurance ST offering.

For 5200 and 6K axles the best choice is to install LT245/75R16E or LT235/85R16E Michelin XPS Ribs or Bridgestone Dravis R250 all steel ply tires. For 7K axles Sailun S367 or GV G614 are the best choices.
