That's a ridiculous generalization you simply can't support. There's plenty of arguments for purchasing LT tires and there's plenty of arguments for purchasing ST tires. To make the generalization that because someone didn't make the same decision you did means they did so based solely on price shows, well, ignorance.
What are the arguments for purchasing ST tires? Low price is the only one I can see.
Some places flat will not mount a non ST tire on a trailer. Sometimes it's just a need to have new tires vs eventually finding a place that will mount the non ST tires.
Thanks!

Yes I fully am aware of that. Hence, the word SOME. There are a minimum of three shops local to me that will not mount a non ST tire on a trailer. Would love to present them with a trailer with LT tires.
It's not an argument it's a fact, SOME shops will not install non ST tires on a trailer.
I have searched your posts... You are totally against LT tires. Never once had a good thing to say about them. So it flys in the face of reason that you were trying to find someone to mount some for you.
In fact, logic tells me that IF and it's a big IF, you actually have run across some shops that won't do it.... It is because that is what you were trying to find.
I and many others have NEVER run into such a situation... Though I am sure it has happened. Many tire shop workers are not the brightest tools in the shed. ( heck most of the time, they cannot even get all my tires inflated to the same psi.) So anything is possible.
But what you describe is not a normal situation.. You are just using it as a poor argument to support your views
So I am calling BS on this,
As for you calling BS on my " unsupported generalization" that cost tends to be the most important priority among ST tire buyers...
Isn't that precisely what happened in the OPs case?
He was all concerned about the age of the tires... They offered him several solutions, to get better tires, or he could get a few bucks back in his wallet... He chose the money back over better tires.
I think my observation was spot on.
