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...

We used to talk about bias ply tires and now it is biased forum comments. How does 8,000 to 10,000 miles per year for the last twelve years, towing in all kinds of weather and road conditions without a single ST tire failure, sound? It is a wonder that the manufactures risk towing the units to the dealers. I am not a proponent of ST tires, I could care less what they are called. I do care about performance and in over 100,000 miles they have not let me down.
