Tire choice
I'm shopping for new tires for my trailer and a couple of questions have come up. I see the ST tires generally are speed rated at 65 mph. I have a light unit and often cruise at 70 if traffic is lig...

The tires that came on it (and I replaced with the same once) are not ST tires. They were put on to compliment the vintage styling, with wide whitewalls. They are repros of vintage tires. I knew nothing about tires for a trailer at that point. I didn't even know there were special trailer tires until a couple of months ago. I like that they have more tread on the ground, than the tires currently on the trailer which look like they are a narrow tread width. Then I read about the speed rating for the ST tires, and I had second thoughts. That led me to finding the postings about LT tires. The spare I have is an ST tire, and the trailer manufacturer included the size tire required, which is 205/14 (I don't have the specifics with me right now). If they don't make 14" LT tires, then I guess that solves the issue. I'll look around and check out all of the postings here. I appreciate all of the help.
