Well, since the "new" ST Sailun's are the same as the "old" LT Sailun's, what do you suppose they did?
To use the ST prefix they had to change the carcass construction. It's the only way they could increase the load capacity between the two by 650#. Of course, that's the ST235/85R16 LRG. The ST235/80R16 LRG, being all steel, is probable a completely new construction.
The off shore tire builders do not waste much time in being competitive. They have flooded the market with numerous brands building these two Sailun sizes. Even the grand daddy ST builder has reciently introducrd their verson of the popular steel tires. With retailers such as Walmart, Sams and Discount Tire providing them they will become popular replacements when the need arises on the road.
