Higher rated axles and wheels and especially the LT tire will make a excellent upgrade.
I hope that's a typo there friend, running anything but ST tires on a trailer (regardless of load rating) is a very bad choice.
Truck tires are designed to work with a different type of suspension, and also to give the passengers a smooth ride. ST tires are designed with stiffer sidewalls and for trailer suspension.
Your joking...Right.
We used nothing but P (passenger tires) and LT (light truck tires) many years before the tire industry gave us the infamous ST tire.
Many upper end RV trailers and commercial transport trailers come OEM with the better LT tires or are a upgrade option.
