Okay my question is why should I go to light truck tires as opposed to trailer tires ? I do no off roading unless you consider a 1/8 mile of gravel off road. I don't get it, better ride, stability, price ? Please explain.
There is no need. Some theories for sure, but that is all it is.........
x2. I have seen people bang into curbs while turning etc, never get out to check the tire for possible damage. Then the tire blows and they blame China .
is nice to have at least 10-15% extra carrying capacity from your tires be it ST or LT's . I have had that reserve on every trailer i have owned and never had an ST issue.
IF you swap tires, make sure the wheels will handle the job. Wheels might have PSI ratings , check into that. Also watch your clearances, take measurements .
