Why don't the manufacturers recommend LT tires??

I'm using Endurance ST tires. But a lot of people who I consider to be very smart use LT tires. So reasonable minds can differ on that point; the fact that so many smart folks use LT tires causes me...

One, ST tires are cheaper to make and generate higher profit margins. Not sure if that is true. But if is, that's a rational reason for the companies' behavior. (Maybe not a nice reason, but rational!)
That borders on conspiracy theory, something I rarely subscribe to. I agree with your OP.. they know more than I do, and I trust their recommendation.

My personal conspiracy theory about why Rvers like LTs is that they like to tow 80mph.
