Out of curiosity, have there been any reports of blowouts on LT tires used on trailers? I've seen countless reports of ST tires failing and many people recommending LT tires, but I haven't seen complaints about LT ties.
I'm not taking a side one way or the other, I'm just curious.
My guess is 98% of blowouts on ST tires are of unsubstantiated causes. As I said earlier, I observed 75% of TT and 5th wheels speeding on my 8 month,8,000 mile trip. There was a thread a while ago where a TT owner posted pictures of his blown ST tire. One of our resident tire guys looked at it and was sure it was a blowout caused by a road hazard, the TT owner denied it was the cause, but the TT owner didn't know the exact reason.
That's what your up against.
