Question:

I have a 2014 Heartland Landmark Key Largo. I getting ready the replace the tires on it. It has LT 235/85R/16G. I was told that I shouldnt put LT tires on I should use ST tires. Im confused and could use some help. Thanks, Charlie

Hey Charlie, we do have a great ST tire in the size of ST235/85R16 with the part # TTWPRG235R16 which would be a great option but it is acceptable to use LT tires on a trailer. It's pretty common actually but generally we recommend the ST for trailer applications as the LT is for trucks too.

Hey Charlie, how did things go with the ST235/85R16 tires for your Landmark Key Largo? Did they give you the ride and load support you were hoping for? Your update could make it easier for the next person choosing between LT and ST tires.
