Just bought a new TT. I was surprised to see they have a speed rating of 75 mph, rated as L I beleive. Can't remember the brand but they are ST, and yes, made in China. BTW I have no plans to test the speed. Usually towing 60-65 mph.

There is no magic involved in placing the letters ST on a sidewall instead of LT.
If you want to run your tires like they were LT then the LT loads are what you should be using.
