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.

Contrary to the earlier post there is no consensus.
They have stiffer sidewalls, heavier cords
ST's are not necessarily stiffer than LT's. It varies widely from one tire to the next. I've never seen a single ST tire that has a stiffer sidewall than the Michelin XPS Rib or Duramis R250 LT's. After reading the dozens of tire threads on forums I find the vast majority of RV'ers do feel that a good LT makes a better choice over ST's for most applications.
That said if you've had good results with ST's then theres no reason to change. There are a few good manufactures of ST's but they're hard to find. Maxxis and Hercules being two notable decent ST tires. But I've had even better results with XPS Ribs. Less sway, better handling, longer lasting but much more expensive.
