There is nothing wrong with an LT tire on a trailer. Carlisles facts are a bit biased though, as they want you to buy their trailer tires!
You're never, ever, going to convince the ST tire believers that LT tires are a good choice on a trailer. That is the only one truism about tire threads. It does no good to point out them, as I have before that LT tires are fitted as standard, or optional on various trailers ( campers, like Airstream, various horse trailers, equipment trailers, etc ). Those who believe ST are superior will go on believing that.
The only reason I still participate in these threads is because there is a constant influx of new members to our community here, and I hope to get the message across to them they would do well to research it "for themselves" so they can make an informed decision for their own use.
Some of us have learned these lessons the hard way over the years of many tens of thousands of miles of towing various kinds of trailers. We're simply passing on our experience.
Carry on men ! Have a safe day out there.
