I only wish there were a selection of LRD or LRE LT tires in 15" to choose from. AFAIK there is only 1 I am aware of, a 15" for sprinter vans.
LRC not an issue in 15"LT, but LRD or E another story. Now if you already have 16" rims, much easier task.
This was Timmos argument to begin with. He’s stuck on LT tires for smaller trailers 14-15” rims that LT tires are unavailable or all but unavailable. And of the very limited choices, they are rated much lower weight than comparable ST tires.
So bottom line, doesn’t matter what the test methods are, if you can’t buy the tire you want.
what I can say is I've put almost 100K miles on two trailers, my neighbor has put close to 300K miles on two trailers he has for going to races etc. SIL folks have put 50K + miles on trailers.
All with ST tires.
Total number of tire blowouts or catastrophic failures zip, nada, zero. Between the 3 of us we have caught two nail punctures with our TPMS that likely avoided a blowout.
All three of us have run Maxxis and now goodyear endurance tires.
