What is the benefit of using a light truck tire over a trailer tire?
I know this subject has been debated quite a bit, but I mainly was lookimg for a tire with a suitable load range AND a speed rating higher than 65mph. I wanted to run 70-75mph on a hot summer day and have no worries.
There are other considerations as well. One is that ST tires are designed for a limited amount of rolling resistance, whereas LT tire construction must address the tire’s traction attributes which can increase the rolling resistance.
