Light truck tires are not available in a size that fits Cobra trailers. Found that out this last summer when I had to replace a blown tire.

The curious thing in the LT vs ST debate is WHY would a tire company design a BETTER trailer tire intended to be put on a truck than a tire SPECIFICALLY and EXCLUSIVELY to be used on trailers? Just doesn't make any sense. Note that is a different question as to is it ok to use an LT tire on a trailer.

LT tires make fine trailer tires; after all, they can handle the more demanding
life on a truck. But! They cost more - often much more - than a trailer tire, due
in part to the much higher speed rating, and that's why the tire companies make
trailer tires. Who would buy a $124 LT tire when they can get an ST tire for $80?
