The long Honeymoon just released a blog entry advocating using LT tires not ST. I have to admit I don't even know what brand of tires my TT has on it. They have been problem free. But I have had plent...

Hardly anyone learns from the ST - LT tire debates.
You, as an owner can use any DOT certified highway tire.The problem is, you violate tire industry standards when not using tires designated for use as displayed on the vehicle certification label. Or other options as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer.
Sure, Airstream as a trailer builder can use LT tires as Origional Equipment on their trailers. That is not a license for others to follow suit. Only the vehicle manufacturer has the authority for OE tire selection. Without their approval, designates OE tire sizes rule.
For those that don't know, this from Calvins past:
This coming from a guy who had SEVEN oem tire failures. ( That should make anyone a disgruntled consumer) CALandLINs seven failures And from what you have also posted (staying with STs, and just increasing the LR) are still having troubles, though at a slower rate. Yea, keep right on drinking the kool aid and putting up with failures... At least you can take comfort in the fact that you are doing what you are supposed to do.
I have no problem with Calvin's tire choices.
I do think though, that continuing to try and scare people away from LT tire use..... Is despicable.
You muddy the water by not accepting facts. It's what's basically wrong with the LT ST tire debates. Reading things into posts just damages the validity of the facts in the post. I never recommended anything. If you would do some objective tire researching you will find that all I said in the post in question was from established tire industry SOPs.
