As someone else suggested, tire threads should be a sticky. The FACT is...no one KNOWS for sure. Everyone has anecdotal evidence and that satisfies most of us. If I have had ST's and they were a problem I probably won't buy them again. I will go with LT's. And vice versa. It's good to believe in what you buy and ONLY YOUR experience will determine your happiness.
And when someone posts with a ST or LT tire failure looking for answer and solutions that is what forums are best at. Allowing people to share advice and opinions based on previous experience is the ideal.
Unfortunately as with all things in society we have differing biases and opinions which leads to all sorts of disagreements and debate with the results being ongoing vitriolic debates when positions become intractable.
It would be ideal if all positions were outlined in a sticky with a detailed FAQ so less people would have to ask the same questions every few weeks therefore limiting these threads that ultimately end up degenerating to the point where there are either closed or deleted.
