St tires vs LT tires

Nevadan660, you are so right. It never gets old or answered. Tires & batterys for RVers. Anchors & bottom paint for boaters.

Like an old dog with a bone he keeps digging up in the backyard just to gnaw away at it every day.

I replaced the rainier on my North Point with Goodyear endurance 235/85/16 load range E

This topic never ends. Go with LT's if you can, if not and you are stuck with ST tires, only use Maxxis. 25 years trailoring with 4 different new trailers, blow outs with good year marathon, Maxxis = no problems, I feel safe.

The OP shows a older '07 HH II trailer. Some times back then NUWA was using 6k axles on their trailers with a 12k-14k gvwr....then moved up to 7k axles later. looks like the OP may not know what's on his trailer.

ST vs LT ?? Be careful here and choose wisely. Don't cheap out on a odd name ST ot LT simply because the price is low especially if this heavy trailer is going to see lots of interstate highway use.
ST tire quality has come a long way the last 4-5 years with the load G Sailuns and new gen Carlisle RH and now the HD.
The Provider ST tire M speed rated in most sizes and load ranges from Taskmaster has been a OEM tire on commercial trailers for 4-5 years now. And now OEM on RV trailers.

5.2k-6k axles ??..... the Bridgestone R250 or the higher priced Michelin XPS Rib tire. Both are a commercial grade all steel ply carcass tire.

For max loaded 6k axles and 7k axles the Sailun S637 G load tire at 4080 lb capacity in a ST235/85-16 or a bit smaller diameter the ST235/80-16 same tire.
The Goodyear LT235/85-16 G614 load G at 3750 lb capacity....both tires are also a all steel ply carcass commercial grade tire.

Provider ST 16" E at 3520 lbs or 3640 lbs capacity and a ST 16" G at 4080 lb capacity are fabric carcass tires with two steel tread belts.

And a host of LT 16" E fabric carcass tires in all the major usa tire brands. Lots of 16" tires to choose from now days

And actually in comparison the Sailun S637 ST235/80-16 are 30.8" diameter while the GY G614 ST235/85-16 are 30.7". If you get the same size in the Sailun they are an inch taller at 31.7".

You are confused.

OP finally posted 2010 Cardinal........that is all that he identified

I have that 'older 07 HH II'
It has 7K tandem axles with 'G' rated LT tires 3750# at 110 psi and weighs 13,873#

OP may not know what is on his 2010 Cardinal.
And until OP posts current tire size/trailer weight nothing but GUESSES

The OP shows a older '07 HH II trailer. Some times back then NUWA was using 6k axles on their trailers with a 12k-14k gvwr....then moved up to 7k axles later. looks like the OP may not know what's on his trailer.

Hey OP.......

Now that WE have hi-jacked your thread and gone all sideways with it WHAT tires are you inquiring about ?? :B :B

Size
Trailer used on
Weight of trailer
ETC ETC

Again......
Tire size
Weight of trailer

:H

LTs on truck & trailer. Same size for both. Gives the flexibility of changing tires on rims if unfortunate enough to have a double failure on one vehicle out in the middle of nowhere with only a small tire shop & a machine to change tires on the rims.

We also have 2010 Cardinal (model 3150). We had the Goodyear E rated STs before having a blowout. I switched over to LTs and have no issues since.
