As a tire engineer, which tread would you pick for a trailer service only tire.....
I think this has more to do with how the marketing department wants the tire to look than what I think would work best - as the difference is not all that great.
But I would select a less costly tread compound for trailer only service tires - and that was the point I was getting at.

Yes, all other things being equal.

.....Tread/ply separations appear to be one of the big issue with ST tires. Are ST tires tearing themselves apart due to the tread design?.....
No.
