I know this has been discussed many times, and here's another stab at it. We have ordered our new 3055RL from Explore USA in Texas and are expecting it by Thanksgiving. The dealer has told me that there is no telling what will be on the feet of the unit when it gets here. I questioned Goodyear, Goodrich, Michelin and Yokohama tire sites for the answer to the "ST" vs. "LT" tires. I'm not going to leave the Mission tires on for any longer than necessary. After 3 explosions on Goodyear G614ST's on the Doubletree, I've been very educated to speed, tire presure and age of tires. BF Goodrich was the only company to reply to me and this is their answer:
"Concerning your question, if the tire you are replacing was an ST tire, then a Commercial TA or LT tire will not work. Unfortunately, we do not make ST tires. Those are special trailer tires with higher load ratings. Please check the old tire and if it were an ST tire, we would need to defer you to someone else. We appreciate your interest in our products."
So...where do you get 16" ST tires? I can't find anybody (except Carlisle), and they have their own set of problems , that has the 235/85R16ST tires. Sorry for the repeated discussions, but it's obviously an important issue.
