The thing, "CK", is that only those "LT" letters matter to those with A Certain Mindset. Logic, reason, and actual statistical proofs don't enter into the convo at all.

That's gotten to be so ludicrously true that RV manufacturers have finally tumbled to it and are now offering so-called "LT" tires as an (expensive) option on new trailers. Thing is, in most cases we're talking about a whole NEW kind of "LT tire"- specially made and labeled "for trailer use only", and speed limited...though I think in most cases the limit's higher than that of the lowly ST.Here's one example They're ST tires in drag, but as long as they have the coveted "LT" branding on the sidewall folks will be willing to pay through the nose for them and I guess sleep soundly in their beds at night.

Marketing geniuses once again seize upon Crowd-Sourced Hysteria and turn it to the advantage of the Marketeers! Gotta hand it to those fellas...

LOL. Thats a good one. I believe this is the biggest whopper you've made so far.

FYI truck tires (LT) tires have been comming on trailers of all types including RVs many years before you became interested in pulling one.

In fact before we had ST tires the LT (truck tires) were all we had for larger trailers. Smaller lighter weight trailers came with passenger tires or P as their called today.

Nothing has changed other than a lot of new folks to the trailering world. We still get LT as OEM or upgrade options from some trailer manufacturers including RV trailers.

Jim,

Finally somebody that understands the true story and doesn't fall for the Madison Ave hype.
The LT trailer tires of today are ST tries dressed up in drag.

The sooner people realize this and start demanding an ST tire of decent quality the sooner we will have one.
