I made a living on the road with trucks and trailers. ST class tires were avoided at all costs in this type of work.

Time and the elements weaken a trailer tire.
– 3 to 5 years is the average life expectancy of a trailer tire,regardless of mileage.
– It is estimated that in approximately three years, roughly one-third of a tire's strength is gone

– After five years, trailer tires should be replaced in all cases.
