Guys, take a deep breath. I am not attacking LT tires. They are very good. My issue is what I stated before. ST tires are built as "speciality tires" for trailers. Because there are not as many produced as LT tires you can get some pretty bad ones. Lots of poor manufacturers jumped in and sold them cheap. Trailer companies bought lots of them and put then on their products which produced a lot of problems as you are all aware.
Today ST tires are much better, maybe not as good as your LTs but they are better. ST tires have stronger sidewalls. I am not saying that they are stronger overall, or better or anything like that. The sidewalls are stronger.
I tried to find a statement by Tireman9 about this and couldn't find one. I have always respected another tire engineer, CapriRacer and after many minutes couldn't find a post of his discussing this. I did find this though,
Trailer manufacturer descriptionI am done. Believe it or don't, that is your decision. Again, LT tires are good. ST tires work in some situations too. You get to decide.
