I will agree that you can use E or D LT(hard to find a D) but it's not as tough as a trailer tire (ST). I have three dual tandem goosenecks that both came with LT's when new. Replace with ST, like I said sold on the toughness of ST tires on our off site construction. Lot of hard jack knifing and skidding, bet my punctures went down 75%. ST is hard as a rock, no sidewall flex like an LT.

Maxxis makes that tire in a "E" rating too. I bought 8 several years ago from Discount and have yet to have a failure on one. The 2 spares I bought have never been on the ground. They are by far the best trailer tire I've ever owned.

Bum; The only reason you would want a Bias is because you can't afford a radial!! ALWAYS have them balanced... no bouncing and better wear. Like any tire,, Air pressure is the key to longevity!!
