...snip..... more LTs are being used. They are heavier and, as many might say, are less problematic.
Are there any DOT statistics that support that assumption? The fact that one tire weighs more than another is not proof that it is better suited to any particular application.
On a related subject, I am sure that "many" drivers are not skilled enough to be towing at 75+mph, regardless of the tires on their trailer. Lane changing, braking, etc. are all affected when a trailer is attached.
