Please keep in mind that along with weight, speed and anticipated use; cost is certainly a major consideration to the TT makers. If cost were not an object we would likely find the TT makers touting some sort of semi trailer tires.
As far as I recall STs are the only tires that are designed, recommended and sold specifically for the TT market. While some of the tire makers, when asked, will agree their LTs can be used for TT service; I do not know of any tire company that advertises their LTs as suitable for both light truck or trailer service. It seems they would rather pass on those sales, or if they are larger enough, suggest one of their ST products.
We are all of course, free to speculate why that is.
