. . . Comparing ST capacity to LT tire is not the best idea. The two tire types are tested to different standards. ST tires got their inflated ratings based on the 65 mph speed restriction . . .
There are quite a few "ST" tires that do have a 65 MPH speed rating. However, is it accurate to say all "ST" tires have a 65 MPH speed rating?
The ST235/85/16, G-rated, Hartland tires (Gladiator clones) on our 5r have an "N" speed rating (87 MPH). Both the "ST" designator and the "N" speed rating are clearly imprinted on the sidewall.
The Carlisle RH and HD both have > 65 mph rating.
