The Yokohama tire you list is a LT (light truck) tire. Does Yokohama
have a trailer rating for it in addition to the LT rating?

Don't know. Maybe the dealer lied to me. I asked for trailer rated
tires and he told me they were. They were not a stock item he needed
to move, they were ordered from the Yokohama warehouse. Normally I
do a lot of research on something like this but I was distracted by
other things and just needed to get it done.. Anyway they seem to
work just fine so far.


LT tires are a good match for trailers (better than P type - passenger
car tires - for the same size and speed rating)


Why are they better?

, and are available in
higher speed ranges than the ST trailer rated tires. I couldn't find the
speed rating for your tires, though.
