IMO the best ballpark figures will come from the manufacturer of the tires you're using. Each seem to have different variations.
In my research I found that Carlisle Tire, way back when, were the sort of spokesperson for the ST tire design. Others were soon to follow and the 3-5 year useage became a sort of standard for those tires.

I understand that.. again, I was rebutting your buddy's claim that LT tires last longer than 10 years when used in RV trailer fitments...
Personally, I'm not going to use my ST tires past 2 years and the LT tires longevity past 3 or 4 years is moot to me for my application, because I wear the tread to minimum before that..
I did enjoy the way he melded the two different test results to provide backup to his contention that LT tires should replace ST tires regardless of rule/law or policy... it was inventive..
