Defective Tires - Tomax
I thought I'd put this out there for all us towables. I'm one of those anal retentive guys who constantly inflates my tires close to the max at 7:00 am just to be sure my tires are cold. So that I...

Glad to hear you're so consistent about air- do you tow below 65mph too?
FYI:
No surprise that the tire shops wouldn't put LT's directly on the trailer. Smart/reputable shops refuse to do so because LT's are NOT designed for the use. Naturally, they don't want to be held responsible for such an application.
Don't know why so many folks take the rims in and have it done anyway...
And why do my Sailun LT tires say "For trailer use only"? Notice those are LT tires. Hmm, looks like a conspiracy to discredit the postings of someone? :)
Yeah- good on the RV industry for picking up on the general obsession with the "LT" lettering...
Lovin' that the Montana "LT235/85R16G" is a trailer tire SIZE, and those supposed "LT's" are marked "trailer service only".
Good marketing move!:B
Wow, such a leap to conclusions!! The LT tires that came on my 2003(10 years ago) Montana Big Sky were 235/80R-16, and wait for it: E rated tires.
After having 2 ST tires on my 2010 toyhauler blow out in less than 8,000 miles I decided ST tires are not the tire of choice for large heavy trailers. Oh yeah, the tires on the Big Sky were 5 years old when I changed them out for...more LT tires. :)
And you did avoid the question of why, if "LT's are NOT designed for the use" (your quote) did Keystone put them on my 5th wheel? And I've seen some high end units that came with LT tires on them. If "LT's are NOT designed for the use" why would they do that?
