here is a very good discussion that demonstrates how the rating system for ST tires is a lower Standard than the LT tires .

It takes less tire to achieve a 3042# rating in an ST than it does for one that has a 3042# rating in an LT .
LT tires carry passengers so the manufacturers have to build more tire to get the LT rating .
