LT Tire vs ST Tire
I assumed I wanted ST Tires for my camper and some people are telling me to go with LT Tires. Now I'm confused, and guess I shouldn't assume.

I only want to say is LT/ST who cares. What works for you may not work for the next guy. I had Goodyear Marathons on my old trailer, would'nt put them on a shopping cart but the next guy may have good luck with them. I have had ST tires on both my trailers and not a problem since replacing my Marathons. As they say, opinions are like, well you know, everyone has one. Do some research, find what works for you and stick with it.

I currently have Goodyear Marathons on my trailer and they are 10 years old. I am replacing in the beginning of next season for two reasons...
First) They are 10 years old! I have had the trailer for 2 seasons and didn't know that tires should be replaced more often. Mine look like new, so I just thought they would be okay. Since so many campers around me are always dealing with blow-outs, I decided to not push my luck with the old tires.
Second) All-in my trailer weighs 6006 lbs ready to camp. The tires I have now appear to be rated for 1400 lbs each, multiply by four and you get 5600 lbs maximum. I understand that some weight is transferred to the truck, but that is just too close for comfort.
