There is one BIG difference that I have noticed on tires , ALL of the ST tires have stamped on them "for trailer use only" BUT ... NONE of the LT tires have any statement like " for truck use only " stamped on them . I have 3 light single axle trailers I use for work , I run st tires on them , simply because I run them at maybe 50% of their capacity and they rarely see over 50 mph plus I have 12 extra off my larger trailers . I have 4 larger dual axel trailers , a car trailer , a tank trailer , a equipment trailerand my 30 ft camper . Each weighs over 8000 lbs loaded , and each one has LT tires . These run the roads loaded at highway speeds. I cant take the chance with ST tires that " may " last.
My larger trailers are running at 80% of the tires rated capacity 100% of the time .
If I ran ST tires they would be running at 100% of the tires rated capacity 100% of the time .
