doesn't carry the "ST" trailer

Since all ST tires are rated to only 65 mph,
I conclude that ST stands for S--tty Tire.

Slightly more humourous, I was looking for a DOT number to determine the age of my spare tire. No DOT number found, but it did say MADE IN POLAND (in English). So based on 1999 date of import, the spare is 15 years old! It is flat of course.

I will second the suggestions for using the Kumho tire from the Tire Rack.

My second set of these are on my Cobra carrying a DG1000.

They eliminated sway problems encountered with the tires that came on the trailer. It is easy to order them on the internet, which saves a lot of running around and debating whether some slightly different size the dealer has in stock will work as well as any debate about truck tires versus trailer tires.
