Best Tires for Travel Trailer?
It is time to replace our Travel Trailer tires. GoodYear tires came with the TT but we had one blow out on us coming home from our last trip. Any advice on which brand is best for replacement? Curre...

There has been a quote from Vanco repeatedly posted about a resonse from them on the ST/LT tire question.......
Generic questions will likely get canned generic responses.
I've truncated this post because there is no need to re-read it. Just be aware of which post I am replying to.
It totally matters what question you ask and how you ask it.
Using the example above, if I ask: "Is the Vanco2 a suitable replacement for an ST tire, the response would be "No!"" - because the Vanco's are C type tires, not ST type tires and without any additional information, it is not assumed that the question-asker has enough expertise to know that he has to be careful about load carrying capacity and inflation pressure.
But if the question-asker says that he has a trailer with X amount of load on the tires and states that the Y sized Vanco's have more than enough load carrying capacity at the rated inflation, then it is obvious the question-asker has looked at everything pertinent and would get a positive response.
When viewing these responses, one has to be very careful to see what the tire manufacturer is actually doing. Are they APPROVING" or "RECOMMENDING", or are they "acknowledging what has already been stated". In legal terms, the way things are worded has an affect on whether the tire manufacturer is doing something that shifts the legal liability onto themselves.
