Not bustin' balls, 'cuz I found this by accident, I thought LT meant light truck tire also:eek:

An "LT" designation on a trailer tire size specifies load range only. It is not designed for use on light trucks.

Why Use An "ST" Tire
"ST" tires feature materials and construction to meet the higher load requirements and demands of trailering.
The polyester cords are bigger than they would be for a comparable "P" or "LT" tire.
The steel cords have a larger diameter and greater tensile strength to meet the additional load requirements.
"ST" tire rubber compounds contain more chemicals to resist weather and ozone cracking.

How many of those are offered in 15" sizes?

If you're running 16 or 16.5" rims, LT truck tires are an option. Otherwise Maxxis has had good reviews as well as Kenda (they have a couple different brands Load Star which I think was sold at Northern Tool for one).

Good point on the 15" stickler. I can't answer that as the last set of 15" tires I bought were for a 1983 Monte Carlo. :D

If you can swap out to 16" wheels & tires, you will get higher load ratings, and see reduced tire temps and increased life.

I have always liked Cooper tires. They also have an ST line, but I have NO experience with their trailer tires.

:D :D We can't all be ballers nowadays... I did a quick search for 235/75s which they used to make as an LT but now all I see are "XL" load ratings which still aren't 2500lb rating.

+1 on the Coopers also. I read a couple threads that had nothing negative to say.

GoodYear WORKHORSE !!!!!!!!!!!!! Never had any issue....and i have to say...there on the Myco since 1992 :party-smiley-004:

In 15" I think that Maxxis are some of the best on the market. I agree that if you can upgrade to 16" your choices are a lot better and you will have fewer problems.

I have seen LT tires in "Load Range" C, D, E....Something is off
with that article ?

I have Cooper LT E range on my trailer.Balanced...They have been fine

I agree, can't believe everything ya read in the internet, I always thought "LT" meant Light Truck, guess it doesnt matter to me anyhow, since my little trailer only takes 14's. I do need to buy 2 new tires due to an alignment/brake issue, but the other 2 are good, so I will just replace with marathon's so they are all matched.
