Hi FE,
I believe CapriRacer explained this much earlier. My understanding is that a different K factor is used for ST's than for LT's. The LT load rating displayed on the tire is calculated with a greater safety factor and it is possible that an LT marked 3042# could be stronger than an ST marked 3640#.
CapriRacer, please correct me if I am wrong.
Clarification there would be most helpful...perhaps Capriracer could include it in a "condensed books" version that also contains any other design/materials differences between ST's and LT's.
If of course the design of ST's is something Capriracer has been involved in at some point...I realize they might be outside his area of expertise.
