I read thru all this, and after looking at the Bridgestone Truck Tire link, it is interesting the ability of your load carrying increases as the speed lowers. So using that thinking, if a LT tire is rated @ 3042 lbs and it is speed rated @ 101 mph, then at 65 mph it's carrying capacity would be much higher than the posted 3042 lbs?

I realize the 3042 lbs is fact and I respect that, but....?

Another thing I notice, some owners are so concerned about their ST tires are at or below capacity, and MUST have a G or heavier tire on their trailer, but haul a heavy trailer with a SRW truck and think nothing of having the rear axle of their truck at close to 100%.

Is it because of the reserve in a LT tire and the fact that a ST tire has no reserve?

Just wondering?
