I'm very interested in this subject, I'm getting ready to go full time traveling around our country. I don't need the grief or expense of tire blow-outs. I did purchase a TPMS system for the trailer tires which also reports back tire temperatures.
Keep in mind we have had numerous reports over the years of ST tires loosing their treads entirely doing damaged to the trailer sides with no lose of air pressure or any other warnings until the damaged was done.
True to the lack of factual data of trailer tire failures but unlike the Firestone/Explorer debacle in which many lives were lost with ST tires failures the result is only property damage. Therefore for every ST tire failure reported on internet trailer forums of all kinds I can only imagine how many hundreds of ST failures occur that never get discussed publicly only cussed privately.
For those of us that have experienced and followed this topic on may different trailer forums on the internet the ratio of LT failures compared to ST failures is infinitesimally small.
If you only intend to tow your trailer to your seasonal campground and back twice a season then leave the OEM delivery tires on, but if you plan to tow thousands of miles it seems cheap insurance to install a proven quality tires rather then leaving unknown no-name supplier provided cheapest OEM specified tires on your rig worth tens of thousands of dollars.
I do challenge any newcomer to this topic to avail themselves of a dismounted ST tire and a comparable sized dismounted LT tire and compared both sidewall strength and overall tires weight and comeback and tell me which tire they want under their trailer.
A 3" nail (under the right conditions) will take out any tire regardless of weight. That argument is not really a good one......At speed the nail will go through the tread and exit the sidewall, blowing the tire regardless of what it weighs.
I have a set of STs with only 2K mi I will sell you for cheap in a few days. No warranty... LOL
