I think you missed what I am asking. I am not asking for the information that is on the sidewall of the LT tire. I am asking if you made an ST tire the same dimensions and inflation pressure as a particular LT tire, what would the max load rating be on its sidewall. Because of the difference in K factor, we know it is a higher number than what is on the sidewall of the LT tire. But instead of qualifying it, I am asking that it be quatified for about a dozen popular LT tire sizes.
Why not start with real world figures.
LT235/85R16E - real world: 3042# @ 80 psi.
ST235/85R16E - real world: 3640# @ 80 psi.
Although the sizes look just alike (except for the prefix) they differ in many ways. Let's get someone to explain why the great difference in load capacities. That's what this thread is about.
