ST vs LT tires.
What is it about this subject that causes threads to close sooooo quickly? The last lasted 8 hours!!! before it was closed. So let's try this again, but folks - let's keep it civil. No name ...

Find ST tires that are made outside of China, and you might have something there.
I won't be buying any Chinese tires. So I had to go with Firestone Transforce HT. Works for me. And I can drive faster than 65 MPH.
That's easy, Maxxis ST tires are made in Thailand
Do I need to site the very recent Maxxis failure tire thread? It's less than a week old....
I hate to say this but this is the kind of post that causes the thread to short circuit really fast… not because it controversial but because the post offers no information, no recommendations, and no conclusions… heck it doesn’t even link the thread, and I am not going back to read it, but if it’s the one I remember there were unusual circumstances, no blowouts, and no reporting of the problem anywhere but here, not to Maxxis and not to the NHTSA and no pictures…
But complaints are few from people using the tire… are we to condemn the tires on such slim reporting…
If so do we condemn Michelin because of this post???
Well, I never expected to be writing this but I had a blowout on my second set of Michelin 16” LT load range E tires. They were only a year old.
Or do we even condemn all LT because of the many existing recalls and new ones issued all the time…
No because tires are the most abused part on a vehicle and they do fail all of them…
Let’s not even mention the foolish contributions being made since…
