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 ...

Treads come off LT tires to. Trailer tires get slid side ways so that pulls on the tread no matter what kind of tire you have. Its just LT tires aren't going to go boom just because your going 70 mph
Yep, the Uniroyal Laredo HD/H and the twin BFG Commercial TA do fail in trailer use when used near their max ratings.
That is why I believe that the Michelin XPS RIB and the Bridgestone Duravis R250/M895 steel carcass commercial grade 16" tires should be the tire of choice on a 6K axle. For those that have less than 33" center to center like FE, there are LT245/75R16 that solve that issue.
