I posted this same question on the RV.net forums and someone pointed me at the following post which is exactly what I was looking for...

Thanks for the post...the writer obviously put some time in researching and writing his input. However, in the end, I am left with the impression that LT and ST tires have different testing standards, different speed ratings, and that they have different load capacities. So, so far that leads me to believe they are different tires intended for different applications???????????????
Undoubtedly, the ST tire can be of lesser quality, thus cheaper to manufacture. I would think this is due to not being for use on a passenger carrying vehicle. I would say the "proof is in the pudding".
