Would you run these tires?
I noticed this today as I was getting the TT ready for a run this week: Have a 4 hr trip planned for Wed into Easter weekend. Would you run these tires? Tires are BF Goodrich ...

there are a bunch of guys on the airstream forums, airforums.com going to Michelin LTX 235 75R-15 and with new 16" wheels the larger 16 tire size with excellent results.
NO more blown tires and going for 30K miles over 5 yrs with no issues.. go over and do a search on Michelin tires and read all the good stuff..
the regular ST tires for trailers are JUNK in most cases, especially the goodyear ones..
set a up a poll and ask how many have had a blow out with goodyear marathon tires vs a michelin or any other LT type tire and the result will be amazing.. GM ST tires will lead the pack every time, for blow outs. ;)

the LT version is rated for LT265/75R16 is 3400 lbs which is awsome.
A couple of reasons we don't see this size tire used on a trailer nor a mfg option....
The 265-75 is a wide base tire with a 7.7" to 8" wide tread. With that much tread the tire will have more side scrub stress than the usual tires we use on our trailers I doubt anyone makes a zero offset trailer wheel that wide plus in many cases the tire is too wide (10"-11" section width) for the wheel well.
