Until you can explain why they catastrophically fail at much greater rate than passenger or LT tires, I'll assume they are lying.
Could be that there are umpteen times more ST tires on travel trailers than there are LT tires. So you are going to hear about more failures with ST than LT.
Well to counter that..... There are many times more LT tires on the road than there are STs...
Yet LT tire failures do not seem to be all that common.
And I quit believing that LT tires live a eaiser life than STs a long time ago.
Just observe whot gets loaded into pickups at Home Dept on a daily basis.
Fact is, most do not give their LT tires a second thought, they just expect them to work.
Unike here, where every ST tire failure is said to be the operators fault.
Point: TTs follow TVs. The tires on both travel the same roads. Yet the STs seem to fail a lot more often.... And those that have swapped to LTs..... Well their problems stop.
We have at least one member here that even after at least SEVEN ST failures, still posting drivel to scare people away from the LT tire swap.
I was hard to convince that the ST tire thing was a sham... But I did eventually learn.
My advice? Don't drink the koolaid. It gets really expensive.
