Jack, I could respond in like to your usual personnel attacks but the OP requested we keep it civil.
Jim,
Who is playing word games… it is you that says you have to ask the question a certain way to not complicate things for them and box them in…
So essentially you are saying these guys don’t have the intelligence to market a legal product for a legal use to the American public… not that’s funny if there is anything that has been said that is funny…
Now your making wild claims and putting words in my mouth and theirs. If you have a problem with the way their legal eagles write up a disclaimer take it up with them. I understand both sides of their story.
The Tire builders built conceived, designed, and engineered the Special Trailer tire…
The Tire builders, wrote the marketing for the ST tire claiming its virtues…
The tire builders professional associations back and support the claims made about the ST tire and they too don’t endorse using LT tires to replace a OE ST tire…
LOL. More word games Jack. I have no idea where your comming up with this so I won't ask for a credible source. Now let me play your word game. Every tire maker I've contacted agrees their LT tires can be used on a trailer if it meets the trailers axle load requirements.
Could the ST tire thing have been a conspiracy as some think??? Could their Marketing of the ST tire expose them to some action if they knew it wasn’t true and just a way to fraudulently get your money???
??? Never heard that one before. The ST tire is what it is and will have to stand on its own reputation with all trailer owners.
I don’t know, but I know one thing is for sure, there is a reason they don’t market the tire for what everyone says is legal use…
I see no reason a LT or P tire manufacturer would advertise their tires for trailer use. They certainly don't have to. As we all know ST/LT and P tires have came OEM on trailers of all types. Hell I can have the trailer manufacturer mount my used or recapped tires of any type on a new trailer when it comes from the trailer manufacturer.
