Unfortunately not all can do that. Many TT owners are saddled 14" tires with no ability to go larger so they are stuck with the ST situation.
My 2001 Wilderness purchased new came with 14" tires. That TT had many tire upgrades including 15" rims (still with ST tires) and ended up with 16" rims with LTs. It involved the necessary modifications to make them fit. It was not easy or cheap.
But I did find a way to get tires that would work.
So in my mind, just having 14" tires is not a reason to accept defeat.
I and others can walk you thru the steps towards a solution. Which will be a lot easier for you than it was for us having to figure it out for ourselves
What LT tire did you go with?
So I went with Michelin XPS RIBS.
I recently just got my 3rd set, as the both previous sets were replaced due to age. I won't run tires past 5 years on anything.
I have found that there is a demand for used Michelins with lots of tread left. I sold my last set easily for 300.00. That helps take the sting out of the price of the new ones.
Try to sell used STs.... LOL.
On another note: There are many fine LTs to choose from. Many have had success with BFGs.
