*UPDATE* ST tires any better nowadays?
It seems like all the ST tires you can get here on the East coast are cheap no-name brands, Maxxis not available out here last time I checked. I upgraded to LT tires (225/75-16) after my last blowout...

I was completely in the LT camp but recently switched to the Goodyear Endurance for two reasons:
1) the primary consideration for LT tires was speed rating; the Goodyears are rated for 87 mph
2) the ST tires are rated for more weight than a similarly-sized LT tire, giving a slight increased cushion.
I still would not consider a foreign made ST tire of any kind, no matter what others may say about their reliability.
Agreed that there is nothing wrong with an LT as long as they're rated for the weight that is on them.
