Other reasons ST tires fail??
There have been soooo many threads and posts on ST tires here about what the best one is and why they fail sometimes. I was just reading one of those "threads from heck" - ST tire thread from heck......

In the end my experience has been ST tires are inferior. Had all kinds of issues. They ALL magically went away when I upgraded to LT tires. There are many people that tell the same tale. Problems,blowouts,flats with ST's changed to LT tires and all problems solved.
One of the issues that still exist are the tires are marginally rated. The idea that all 4 tires carry equal weight is part of the fallacy. One tire is often overloaded and over stressed from the start. Floorplans are not balance by weight. Why do we expect the tires to carry equal weight?
ST tires are built to marginal/inferior standards vs. and LT. ST tires are not built to a standard that entails transporting humans. They are built and regulated to a cargo only standard. In the end they are inferior. LT's are built for passenger carrying vehicles and are simply a more reliable tire built with better quality control as a result.
LT tire upgrades continue to resolve the blowout issue.
