They recently carried 15K CGVW with trailer up the coast 1200 miles in my 74 3+3 with no issues. Tires themselves show almost no wear after years of driving and were the same size and brand that I replaced on the truck. They also looked great and the only reason I got new tires is the old ones were 25years old. They are still going strong on my brothers truck all these years later.

I guess this is the only 'LT' they offer now

yah, in most cases trailer tires should run just fine if used properly, inflation, load, modest driving, etc..

trouble is liability should the vehicle be involved in an accident, tires fault or not it could be questioned..

and for the record - I'm no tire saint

but I do this for a living so I feel obligated to give others safe advice as I'm aware of and fair warning for otherwise
