I had a chance to compare one of the E-rated ST tires that came off my trailer to the R250 before it was mounted and the difference in weight, sidewall thickness and overall structure were night/day. Will never run an ST tire again on a big trailer.

I would NOT use BFG Commercial T/A tires. 2 Failed on me and one was recalled.
Its a much physically LIGHTER tire than the Michelin XPS RIB or even slightly Heavier Bridgstone Duravis (am running both of them currently w/o failures in over a year and over 5K miles).

A question for you folks who have, or are going to, switch to LT tires on your fiver. Are there certain characteristics that make one tire more desirable than another or will any LT tire be fine?
My fiver maxes out at 12,000 lbs. loaded so I don't need load range G tires. For that matter, does it even make sense to make that change and instead go with a top of the line trailer tire instead?

For what it is worth Michelin owns BFG and Bridgestone and all 3 have LT tires. I am running Michelin XPS ribs. You will find them to be a physically heavy tire.

ST tires are or were speed rated to 65MPH. LT tires are speed rated to 99 MPH. ST tires are not tested to the same standards as LT tires. ST tires have a short life span. ST tires have a long history of premature failures especially on heavy trailers. Muff said!
