What was the Load Range of the three tires he was looking at?
The LT Load Range E tires on my truck have a much higher weight capacity than the LT tire he used for comparison.
I would have been much more impressed had he cut the tires in two and showed the differences in construction, and showed LT tires with Load Range C, D, E, and F.
Years ago, my son bought a real nice 32 foot fifth wheel. On the first trip, he had a tire failure. He replaced the ST tires with LT LR E tires, and never had another blowout! Successful experience defeats book learnin' every time, IMO.
My 7X14 box trailer doesn't get used much, but if it ever needs tires it WILL get LT LR E tires!
