On the subject of LT tires, I now have 2 trailers with LT tires so I will be able to give a real world experience, after some time. My Horse trailer, a gooseneck weighs about 8K on the trailer axles when fully loaded. It has always had LT tires since new. The current tires were new in 2016 - Goodyear Wrangler HT. No issues so far. The other trailer, a Fifthweel, about 9K over the axles. Just installed the tires last week, same Goodyear Wrangler HT, at $131 a piece seemed like a good way to go. I could have purchased the Endurance at about the same price, but wanted to go with the LT tires. So, I will be the first to say it was a bad decision if in fact it was. I guess more to come in a few years...
I think I will go another season on the horse trailer, then change them out before the summer of 2022. But, then I can sell the LT tires for $25-$50 each to some guy that needs tires for his truck or van. Much better than that guy buying from a junk yard or scrap tire dealer as the tires although old will have great tire tread. Can't do that with an ST tire.
