I will never again install trailer tires on anything that i own! Light truck highway tires do not reach maximum capacity until 106mph (may vary slightly). Trailer tires are "maxed out" at 65 mph; this means that as speed increases, load capacity decreases! My nephew and his crew have been testing this 'theory' for the past 4 years. He and his guys tow heavy fifth wheels with four wheelers and other gear in toy haulers while working gas field production projects nation wide. They currently ALL use Light Truck tires and have logged 860k miles without a single tire failure except for an ocasional leak caused by puncture. These guys tow 80mph, 500 mile days routinely.
I currently have Firestone HT LTs on my truck with about 16000 towed miles.
