Huntingdog, 12 years is a long time and ST tires have made some improvements. I have nothing against anyone who wants to run LTs or those who want to run STs. Pick your poison I suppose.
I don't understand the straight line towing claims. And I have a hard time believing that LTs are weaker in the sides and can't handle the pressure that comes from turns. My TV has LT tires and 2 of them are on the front where there is considerable turning and flexing.
I had Carlisles on my hybrid which blew shortly after I purchased it. They were underrated for the weight. I replaced them with some off brand I got at Les Schwab. Had no trouble. Got a used Airstream with GYMs and after about 5 years I replaced them with Maxxis. The GYMs did have some belt failure developing in two of them. The Maxxis were great. They aged out and when I looked at replacing them I saw the Carlisle HD tire that had great ratings, was an E load tire and had a much higher speed rating than the Maxxis. They were also less expensive so that is what I have. No problems here so far.
So, there are lots of choices out there. If you are still open to ST tires there are some much improved options here too.
