When you read comments on forums such as this about switching from an ST to an LT tire, one of the things you read is that ST tires are designed to better withstand the stresses created when turning a dual axle trailer - that this design in some way makes ST tires more suited for dual axle trailer use than LT tires.
True or not?
If you read CapriRacers post he states construction of ST and LT tires is similar.
The only real difference is that ST tires are built and tested to lesser standards than LT tires, carry a lower speed restriction and have higher K factors (loading).
Side construction falls between P(car) and LT(Light Truck). THEY DO NOT HAVE STRONGER SIDEWALLS THAN LT TIRES!
