I've seen the arguments for and against. Only observation I've made on this forum over the years is that it seems everyone that's switched over to LT tires is happy with the switch.
I switched back to ST.
With LTs the rig was all over the road and made towing a real workout, and had poorer fuel economy. With STs the rig just handles better in all weather and road conditions with better fuel economy.
The only time I ever had a problem with an ST is when the tires were over 4 years old, and I got lazy and failed to check pressures. I am normally OCD on tire care and never had a problem when I maintained diligence.
LTs require less diligence, true, but the worse handling and fuel economy made it bad trade-off for me. YMMV.
