That's true, but an ST tire only has to meet the minimum 65 MPH ST rating. Any higher ratings and certifications can be considered "icing on the cake".
One thing to remember, when
tires are used in a tandem
axle setup, the maximum load capacity is normally reduced, so it's not as simple as just multiplying the maximum single capacity by four to get the total load capacity.
Example, the 2150 max single load on our trailers Carlisle tires are lowered to a max dual load of 1870 lbs on our tandem
axle, per load info printed on the sidewall.
