This is exactly the information I would like to put in a chart. For all of the LTs that are readily available in the marketplace with a tread appropriate for trailer use (FastEagle would be a big help in coming up with a good list), find out what the load rating is of an ST tire of the same size (even if not available in the marketplace).
Just doing a quick calculation here -- 1.09 x 3042 = 3315 (rounded down to the nearest pound). At 12% that would be 1.12 x 3042 = 3407 pounds. At 13% 1.13 x 3042 = 3437. So it might be that an LT235/75R16 LRE is a direct replacement for a ST235/80R16 LRE (Goodyear Marathon 3420 lb) if the ST235/75R16 LRE is 13% or more than the LT235/75R16 LRE. But it wouldn't be a replacement for the Towmax that FastEagle uses which is 3520 pounds. That is why having accurate numbers here would help.
CapriRacer -- can we work up a chart?
Ah ...... yeah, but why? There are a ton of LT size possibilities, and I'm hoping you're not going to try to cover all of them.
