So you can go on making excuses for ST tires failures, or you can get LTs an not need to make anymore excuses... LTs can be treated like tires. Not like pieces of glass.
To me, this pretty wraps it up neatly. Over and over we here many folks on various forums defending ST tires, and so often with all the normal "blame the user" disclaimers.
We just don't hear all these horror stories with LT tire users, because they are simply out there using their LT tires on their trailer the same as they do the car or truck tires.
We don't always get to choose how smooth the roads are that we drive on, and other things that go bump in the night.
Having the extra reliability of a better tire is quite simply worth it to me.
For those who wish to continue using the lower price point ST tire, I say fine, have at it, but let's not cloud the issue by trying to say they are as good as a LT tire for the trailers.
