I really do appreciate the tone of this thread. I really don't like to hear that I am a fool for going with ST or perhaps LT tires.
I think that there is a shift toward LT tires on trailers. Historically STs were the only ones considered. As time moved on trailers became heavier and there were more out there. With the increase of folks getting into RVing, there was in increase in the types that didn't have a clue about how trailers actually worked or even understood the concept of maintenance. I read a post by a fellow who purchased a new trailer and loved it. But, on his third outing which was a boondocking kind of thing he was concerned that his AC wouldn't come on. I wonder how much attention this guy was giving to his tires.
Because we have heavier trailers that we want to drive at much faster speeds and we really don't want to spend that much time tending to the tires, it is understandable that more LTs are being used. They are heavier and, as many might say, are less problematic.
