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...

They are fitting GY Wrangler HT ( LT ) tires to their trailers.

At one time the Wrangler HT LT235/85-16 E were OEM on several brands of RV trailers. Just like HH II 5th wheel trailers came with Uniroyal HD-H LT 235/85-16 E about that time frame.
Trailers became heavier along about then requiring 6750-7000 lb axles so they were dropped in favor of higher load capacity tires (3500 lbs).
