Who told you that LTs can't handle it?
I have never read that ANYWHERE. An awful lot of high end TTs come with LTs, and many of us have upgraded to them....
The ad propaganda from the ST tire makers are/is careful in their wording around this subject.... They NEVER state that LTs can't handle it.... They do imply that ST tires are especially good at it.
That doesn't mean that LTs fall short of the job.
Big difference.
I agree. You think LT tires used on the front of a vehicle in a sharp turn don't have side forces on them? I think BS.
I beleve the statement on the side of all ST tires that says: "For trailer use only" is for the liability lawyers.
They are poor quality "seconds" and not to be used on any passenger vehicle for that reason. They probably do not meet the federal quality safety standards for passenger vehicle use. IMO
