Interesting article on tire rack about tire applications

This is the paragraph that caught my attention Also consider that Special Trailer (ST), as well as Light Truck (LT) tires are fully rated for trailer applications. This means ST- and LT-sized tires...

I know that people switch from STs to LTs all the time with good results. But the TT industry puts a million tires on the road every year.

Let's see what happens when a significant number of them are LTs.
It's not all that hard to figure out.

Since everyone here has had their tire problems m disappear when they awitched to LTs, then you either believe that it has been an incredible coincidence, or the LT tires are better suited for our use..
Many of us went to extreme lengths to give STs a chance... When that failed, LTs fixed it.
I don't believe in miracles. I do believe in better tires. LT tires are simply better tires.
Once again, read and try to comprehend the govt. testing standards for each type. The LT tires must pass a much more demanding test. These tests has nothing to do with marketing propoganda. They are just the facts of the matter. Believe it or not, that makes a big difference.
