Most of the problems have been the ST tires on large travel trailers and fifth wheels weighing over 14K lbs.
Not sure if it's accurate or fair to lump all ST tires together.
There are
G-rated, ST tires like the Gladiator and Hartland (Discount Tire, Gladiator housebrand) that have a 14-ply rating, all-steel carcass, an L-N speed (75-87 MPH) rating, and weigh 60+ lbs. (typically 20-25 lbs more than the same size E-rated tire). To my knowledge, there haven't been any issues with these ST tires, even on the very heaviest rigs.
