I tend to agree with everyone about CR- I actually pulled the article off Yahoo. However, I agree with them in this instance.
As for ST tires- regardless of where and how they are constructed - they are a terrible investment unless you are putting them on a trailer that sees very limited use.
On one hand, why have $300.00 tires on a trailer that sits the majority of the time? That's why we keep cheap $100.00 ST tires on the boat trailer. It moves 200 feet from the garage to the river and back at 10 mph hour. On the other hand, running ST tires on a big fifth wheel which sees regular use is just absurd and reckless.
ST tires on a big trailer is certainly as unsafe as pulling that trailer with too small of a vehicle.
