It is interesting to note that frequently when members here seek advice on replacements, they get anecdotal evidence from people who either switched to LT tires or Maxxis ST tires. What you see at the end of the thread is that they have followed suit, however, they have also at the same time chosen a tire with a higher load capacity. I would suspect that the others who provided anecdotal evidence of their choice solving their problems may have done the same (myself included). It may all boil down to your advice (that also comes from FastEagle and several other members here with many miles of towing experience) that you really need to select tires that will give you a 15% margin over your GAWR regardless of whether it is an LT tire made in the USA, or an unheard of brand of ST tire made in China.
Yep, after all is said and the post nears it's end it will most likely boil down to this earlier conclusion.

For me the biggest thing out this thread is CapriRacers statement to share what works in the real world! Chris
