Of course no tire is industructable... But ST tires they should not fail at anywhere near the rate they do. .
Please Huntingdog....share with us the actual failure rate of ST tires.
You know that you don't know. So stop making blanket statements with absolutely no knowledge of fact or even educated guess.

What's the difference between ply's and belts? The D is 8 ply and the E is 10 ply. Surely 10 ply's are better than 8.

Years ago, an 8 ply tire had 8 plies, and a 10 ply had 10.
Now they go by ratings an 8 ply rated tire won't have 8 plies in it, but will have the strength of an old 8 ply tire.
What hasn't changed is that a 10 ply rated tire WILL be stronger than a 8 ply rated tire.

Since my current tires already exceeds my axle capacity, why should I buy tires that have even more more capacity then the axles that support them?
Yet people do this all the time.

Nobody is making excuses, they are just stating facts.
People can whine all they want but the fact remains that the TT and 5ver tire market is well over a million a year, plus the cargo trailer market, plus the horse trailer market, plus the farm trailer market not to mention the large and small boat trailers.

I believe that my TT tires should be able to do what ever my TV tires do, and just as reliably.
And I have found that using LT tires like what is on my TV makes that happen.
