Because ST tires have never proven to be superior in mileage, performance in adverse conditions on commercial light trailing equipment. Because LT commercial tires are used in higher speed adverse conditions with less failures despite serious side torqueing in tight turns. Because my Bridgestone R250 LT tires run cooler and squirm less on rutted pavement than ST "gotta be there" according to RV tire guru's. Because my tire guy is the same guy who supported my class 8 trucks through the barrage of lies from tire manufacturers with all the answers on my dime. Because $1200.00 worth of quality under my $40k rig is cheap compared to the experiences of the china bomb and other ST only rv victims. Michelin Ribs are an all position commercial tire, Bridgestone R250 are a commercial all position tire and there is a few more out there. ST tires are trailer only 65 mph max speed tire, with the increase in highway speeds nation wide we will see increased ST tire failures. Hope there not near me when they fail because most of the high speed idiots pulling trailers don't care what they have under their rigs nor do they care they just want to get there fast.
