Mainland China will mfgr tires to the buyer's specs.
Most major tire brands have manufacturing facilities in China, including GY and Michelin.
For niche markets (like trailers) some companies still use their brand name, others devise creative names for their 2nd or 3rd tier tires - so tire failures don't reflect poorly on their first tier product/s.
Even *you* can be a distributor for "Lynnmore ST" (or LT) tires if you desire. The Chinese will be happy to accommodate you - and produce a tire that meets minimum specs - or improved specs & quality - whatever you want. Line up your US distribution network - and you're in business.

actually his tires were 5 to 6 years old. Trailer was a 2017. More than likely built in 2016. Probably sat on the lot for a year probably had 2016, or 2015 tires on it. 2021 -2017 = 5 years. 2021- 2016 = 6 years. and yes. That is a couple years past time for replacement. Those tires were just looking for a place to blow out. No matter how well they were taken care of.

I would have done the same....Don't mind 12V. If you're not wearing AmZoil undies, a B&W hat and a Cummins T shirt, he assumes you make poor life decisions! LOL

SAD you didn't get to the GY dealer.
So your spare tire wouldn't have gotten you an additional 155 miles and saved your self more tire issues in the future?

I may not even have this trailer in two years if they last that long fine if not I will replace them when I'm not stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I read a atricle recently there they were shooting down all ST tires no matter where they were made and going with a LT truck tire?
