If you read the posts on tires you will be convinced that every TT going down the road is a tire time bomb.
There are thousands of TT tire rolling down the road that have never had a tire issue, just as there are thousands of TT owner who left the dealership and never had any issued with their new rig.
For sure there is room for improvement with the TT and tire quality but it is estimated that the average TT owner buys a new TT every six years. I would venture a guess that they still had their original tires.
If upgrading makes you feel better; by all means do it. Then you can decide if you want LT or ST tires.
+1 Trailer tires AKA ST tires have a max speed rating of 65 mph. The design allows the dissipation of the heat generated at that speed IF properly inflated and not overloaded. However in this world of "nothing is my fault" those that do not check their pressures and/or pull their trailers at 70+ mph will quickly jump on the internet and claim that the product is junk regardless of the fact that they chose not to use the product as designed.
P.S. I am still pulling my 2009 Open Range around with the Good Year "Marabombs" on it that it came with.
