What hasn’t been discussed here is the LT tires have a higher built on reserve than the standard ST tires. They are rated to carry the same weight but since LT tires carry people the safety factor is higher. If you weight the two you will find the LT are heavier than standard ST tires. All that extra weight gives that extra reserve.
If you do a search here you will find this has all been discussed many times over the years. People think if they run some magic PSI and some magic speed their standard ST tires will serve them well only to have a blowout that does thousands of dollars damage to their camper, but it’s your camper.
