My last several trailers have had 6K axles, and I will only use 16 inch LT tires. One manufacturer told me that ST tires are not built to the safety standards that any tire for carrying passengers are. Craig

"When it comes to tires, you are going to have to do your research and go with your gut."

Boy, there's some pretty deep wisdom there. Geeze.

I agree with above, but all ST tires are not created equal. I replaced my 8yo Providers last Summer, with another set of same. Here is a description from e-trailer. "Provider radials are constructed with double polyester cords and double steel belts for increased durability and endurance. A protective layer of nylon is wrapped around the steel belts to help prevent tread separation. Provider radials are bake tested - a process usually reserved for automotive tires - to ensure that the rubber holds up over time."

Also from e-trailer "Provider radial with automotive-grade tread"

speed rated 81 mph

These came OEM on my FW and gave superior service. They are available in many sizes/load ranges.
