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...
Forum Discussion
The rules are pretty simple, the replacement tires must equal or better the tires listed on the vehicles tire placard…
JJ, knows as well as most folks that the tire placard is a recommendation only. When you use the word "Rules" it implies some kind of law. There is no enforcement law that says the replacement tires have to be the same type listed on the placard.
The only enforceable law is roadside. They look for a DOT number and the tire capacity to match the vehicles axle ratings.
if your trailer came with ST225x75x15 in LR D @ 2540 lbs. capacity on the placard you can’t just say you can use a Wrangler HT in LT215x15 LR D @2090 lbs. capacity or in a LT 235x75x15 LR C @ 1980 lbs. capacity, which is what is often recommended in the forums for this situation…
Incorrect.
What I and others have recommended and are actually using is those two 1980-2080 lbs capacity LTs you mention for replacing a ST205/75-15 C at 1820 lbs capacity.
