Perhaps I can help folks understand what may be going on between these 2 types of tires. It was clear in that closed thread that there are some mis-conceptions. Ya' see, I am a tire engineer with a major tire manufacturer - over 30 years in the business. I've got quite a bit of insight into how this works. Is anyone interested in reviving the discussion? My feelings won't be hurt if you don't. ******************************************************************** CapriRacer Visit my web site: www.BarrysTireTech.com N6761U • View posts Eureka, CA Full Member Joined: 09/09/2011 View Profile Good Sam RV Club Member Offline Posted: 02/02/12 03:33pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Lay it on me.

I assume all tire engineers are the same and sold us these STs to begin with! Seriously though - I read some of your blog and would be interested to hear what you say, especially after re-affirming my "nitrogen is balogna" theory. * This post was edited 02/02/12 03:44pm by Mile High * 2006 Ford F350 4X4 SB CC SRW Powerstroke 6.0 2007 Montana 3400RL 5th - hi gloss, electric awning, remote system, Onan 5500, G614, JTs, wet bolts, Dish, Ariston W/D, 5th Airborne.

I'm interested if you can scrub off chunks of rubber during tight manuvering, like backing hard when the tires appear to just about roll off the rims. I never had that with the ST tires but because of all the info (bad or good) I switched to LT tires and tread has come off. Bad tire or misapplication? downtheroad • View posts Pacific Northwest Senior Member Joined: 02/18/2003 View Profile Posted: 02/02/12 03:46pm Link  |  Print  |  Notify Moderator Sign me up..
