2200 lb rating is for a Goodyear Endurance ST215/75 R14 @ 65 p.s.i. ... ST205/75 R14 rating is 2040 lbs @ 65 p.s.i.

ST tires have higher load ratings but load is not what causes most blowouts. Heat causes most blowouts and LT tires dissipate heat better.

So if you are asking what is the best tire to prevent blowouts it is the one that will carry your load AND dissipate heat. Generally a LT tire with a high load rating will work best.
