The information I stated is still factual. The fact that some TT manufacturers use LTs reinforces my statement. That is, manufacturers use the type of tires they believe is suitable for their intended application.
As was noted, LTs are usually found on high end TTs, representing a small portion of the TT market. Their reasons for using LTs is known to them but one can assume that LTs were selected to meet the TT maker's design criteria.
Volumes can and have been written about why some manufacturers choose LTs over STs. Suggestions include everything from superior performance, to feeding the vanity of the anticipated buyer. All of which is just conjecture as to why they were selected.
If one feels safer on LTs, for what ever the reason, that is what they should buy.
If one prefers a higher load rated tire, they are available.
Since many people do quite well with the OEM tires that came with their TT, I do not expect a major shift to LTs any time in the future. But, as always I could be wrong.
I would be more inclined to trust the tire selection made by RV companies if they were willing to stand behind their decisions. Anyone get a multi-year tire warranty from the RV company when they bought their RV? or did the tire warranty end when you drove off the sales lot.
