Nonsense about LT's not being able to handle it. Total nonsense. As always, I quote from the owner manuals of both my horse trailers and my equipment trailer that state LT are appropriate and approved. The smallest of these trailers is 7000 pound GVWR and the other two are 14,500 pound GVWR.
I have to agree , my Sunset creek camper also says LT tires are acceptable . What I find interesting is that I havent ever seen a post or complaint about a LT tire failure on a trailer . I use to run ST tires on my equipment trailers because thats what the tire store recommended , I had many experiences like the OP had , torn up fenders , shreaded tires , I havent had one since I went with LT tires . I have had to replace them when they went bald ( 7 years old and lots of miles)
