Has anyone changed out their tires from the crappy ST’s to an LT? If so did you notice any difference in handling, such as more prone to sway?

i am a huge fan of LTs on the camper. I’ve put over 50k miles on the camper with LTs and couldn’t be happier. Finding the size that works may take some effort, but it is worth it to run a quality tire. I had to buy new wheels to run LTs, because the width was different, bu it was well worth it. no concerns with sway.
I found some 27x8r14’s which don’t seem to be much different then the 205x75r14’s that came stock. Tad bigger but I have plenty of room. With a load capacity of 1540ibs per tire they are within my tool weight capacity.
I run Goodyear endurance trailer tires on a 10k lb arctic fox. When you look at the sidewalls on that tire it's like no other. That is also the ONLY tire made on the USA, or at least that was the case when I bought them. The marathon was mentioned, but they were offshore when I bought my tires a couple years ago. I am as hard as anyone on tires. I live in the NW and it gets blazing hot into hells canyon to 75 miles in low range in the St Joe forest. I have only had one flat in 20k miles and it was because I broke a wheel! The tire was fine.
For the cheap (~$100ea) price I paid and the results so far.....I'm tickled.
