Yes-passenger tires are tested to higher standards than ST tires. However,this isn't an apples to apples comparison-as ST trailer tires are subject to much different on the road characteristics than a passenger tire. Much more dramatic sidewall pressure when turning, no sophisticated suspension systems (for the most part) etc.
BTW-running 11 year old tires on anything that travels down the road is very dangerous. You got lucky.
