I find that very hard to believe! LT's have a far stiffer sidewall one of the reasons many feel that using LT tires on a tandem axle trailer stress the tire too much when turning.

We have been telling people for years to go to a few tire stores and ask to handle a few tires themselves. One will soon see that there is a noticeable difference in the tire types.

An addition difference is shown it all the tire threads about failed tires. Which type is noted in 90% of the threads?

You have to omit that somehow they have managed a great marketing program that keeps the main stream tire companies at bay and out of their segment of the market.

Or is it that other than GY no other main stream tire manufacture wants to deal with all the issues?

One has to ask how did we get here? Everyday logic says that a large box on wheels it not going to fair that well on tires designed years ago for local use on utility type trailers. Then the RV manufacturers started building larger and larger trailer around the inflated ratings. The results of which we regularly read about in tire threads.
