Oh and for all of those believers that the sidewalls of an ST tire are tougher than an LT tire, this is BS.
The sidewalls are 2-ply polyester and the carcass is very light compared to an equivalent LT tire...
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that few if any LT's have something other than two-ply polyester sidewalls, though some may have sidewall enhancements such as the turnups provided by Dunlop on its off-roader, The Mud Rover.
Which of course is unlikely to be a choice anyone would make for a trailer.
