LT Tire vs ST Tire
I assumed I wanted ST Tires for my camper and some people are telling me to go with LT Tires. Now I'm confused, and guess I shouldn't assume.

Sorry, but while the standards are different between ST tires and LT tires, there hasn't been anyone who has done the testing to verify that.
ST tires are designated to have a larger load carrying capacity, but have a speed restriction of 65 mph. LT tires have a lower load carrying capacity, but have a higher speed capability.
You can argue that ST tires aren't built as well as LT tires - either because of the quality of the design or the quality of the manufacturing material and/or processes - but ST tires are designated for a certain task and LT tires are designated for a different task.
Nevertheless, there isn't any evidence that either will pass the other's testing requirements.
