Some say, including myself that an LT tire is built to withstand those steering side forces by having a tougher sidewall. On a single axle trailer, there are negligible turning/scuffing forces. As you add axles, the ST has an advantage on scuffing. But that is only a slight advantage given the higher % of time the trailer is on the road.
