If you want to run "P"assenger tires on your $70000 boat that your business. I choose to run "S"pecial "T"railer tires on my $10000 boat because I feel they are safer on a boat trailer and I will not go cheap when it comes to safety even if I have to buy tires every 3-5 years to remain safe.
First off, I never one time said that my boat was $70,000. Read it again.........

Second, the sidewalls on the tires I'm running now are stiffer than the ST (BTW, I know what ST stands for you don't have to spell it out) that was on my trailer. If you feel that ST's are safer run them, I could give two shxx's. I came on here and give my opinion to the OP and get jumped on saying that I'm unsafe. I'm not cheapening out because the tires I'm running were more coin than the ST's that were available.

If you want to be sitting on the side of the road changing your tire, keep running your ST's.
