Why ST tires?
Hey All, Total noob, trying to soak all this RV stuff in all at once. The Maxxis ST tires on my recently purchased 2001 TT "look" like new, but I don't know how old they actually are, so don't kno...

Good info all around! I read the links and thanks to 2edgesword I can check the dates on my tires.
After reading the links provided and the posts so far, I am leaning heavily towards LT tires when I need to buy new ones. Don't mind getting new wheels, bigger tires, as the axles are already flipped so plenty of room for bigger tires and a little bit more ground clearance from taller tires would be welcomed.
And it's not so much that I'm going to be in that much of a hurry, just that a lot of the interstate around here is posted 80 MPH and the de facto speed limit is 85 MPH. Doing 65, a full 20 MPH less than everyone else on the road, even in the right lane, makes you kind of a hazzard to the other drivers. I'd like to be able to do 75 MPH and not have tires be a concern. Plus, like I said, for how I'll mostly be using the TT, a little more ground clearance would be nice. Plan on welding up some skid plate for the exposed drain pipes before taking it anywhere as is.
