The other thing to consider is possibly a harder ride from an LT tire. You might then have to add shocks if you don't already have them otherwise you might feel that difference thru your hitch to the seat of your TV. (tow veh.) as well as shake things up inside your TT.
LT tires tend to work best of heavier TT's and fivers.

Keep them properly inflated, continually inspected and not overloaded , your tires should perform well for you whether ST or LT.
