Actual load should be no more than 90% of the tire load capacity. When you compare LT and ST you need to be sure the LT can support AT LEAST as much load as the ST. You will probably need to increase size or Load range when going ST > LT to get the load capacity.Tireman9https://www.blogger.com/profile/09813984937064446653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197373783392349499.post-68755182800266294932018-09-30T11:15:14.107-07:002018-09-30T11:15:14.107-07:00Roger, I have gained much neefed info here and on ...Roger, I have gained much neefed info here and on other forums. Many recommend various LT tires over ST. I have researched the specifications on the tires and axels on my 305RL. I do not have more than 10% difference between load and tire specs. The max speed listed is only 65, that is too low for safe highway speeds. I have purchased the ford Internal TPMS units and I have room for taller tires, available for my 16 inch wheels. If an LT with better specs will be safer in my upcoming trip across Alaska then $100 more a tire is acceptable. BTW I maintain the air pressue on all ten tires. What I can't seam to find is where in the specs ST are superior to LT for trailers. At the same size, Load range, speed rating, other than price why buy ST over LT?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10775921842326156234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4197373783392349499.post-70780275169182105322018-09-03T04:58:55.163-07:002018-09-03T04:58:55.163-07:00Thanks for info!Thanks for info!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04613150274857338834noreply@blogger.com
