I am running LT's as that is what can on my 5th. Go figure.

X2 Many trailers have LT tires as OEM.

A Big Horn is usually pretty heavy. Are you asking about LRG trailer tires? There are lots of new ones on the market, ST & LT. All are steel cased and pretty durable.

Your question is like asking "How long of a piece of rope is needed?"


Some STs are good
Some LTs are good
Some are better

All DEPENDS :B

What exactly do you have now?
What is the trailer GVWR?
Two axles or three?
