LT tires on your TT? Let the fight begin

[agesilaus]

The long Honeymoon just released a blog entry advocating using LT tires not ST. I have to admit I don't even know what brand of tires my TT has on it. They have been problem free. But I have had plenty of trouble in the past. They especially dislike marathons, no surprise. Take a look, you don't have to watch the whole thing they make their argument in the fir 6 or 7 minutes the rest is just doing it over and over.

But I'll say they make sense to me. Airstream is supply Michelin LT tires on their units as an option.

When it's time for tires, always upgrade.

I'm inclined to agree with you. Just the sheer number of TTs on the road that you do not see on the shoulder leads me to believe you get a lopsided view from forums .

My wheels cant handle the tire pressure of the good stuff.

The 16" GY Endurance's have been problem free on our TT and negate the need for LT's. However, I hate the co. and would pay 50% more for a similarly performing tire just to avoid them.
When the time comes for new tires, I'll be checking out all the options.

Goodyear Endurance in ST 205-75-14 for $99 each is good enough for me.

With the current crop of upgraded ST tires, it makes using an LT unnecessary. Not saying you shouldn't use them on a trailer, but you don't have to automatically go to an LT anymore. And most Trailer with 14 and 15 inch tires you cannot get a LT tire for them in LR D or E.

Can you even get 14 inch LT tires that will fit on a 5 1/2" rim??

How many posts have you seen about trouble with LTs?

[azdryheat]

If it says China on the sidewall get rid of it.

Just saw this blog post and I haven't actually followed any of those posts before. I have seen some tho. Sorry if I'm stirring up trouble. Moderator feel free to kill this if you feel it is necessary.

You have been a member here for a good many years. Have you not read or seen the hundreds of posts we have had on LT vs ST tires? Why open this subject again? It just leads to arguments and then thread closings.. :R
