The majority of ST tires while having a 300# to 400# rating advantage, but only to speeds to 65 to 75 mph. In addition most don’t trust their ST tires to anywhere near their rated capacity. I am running my LT’s at 82% of rated capacity how many feel safe with running ST’s at 82% of capacity?

You really need to clear something up here. Your trailer was most likely certified by Keystone to use standard LT tires. Isn’t that what’s on the trailer’s certification label?
Note: 1. A tire’s durability factor does not have anything to do with its ability to carry the maximum load listed on its sidewall. 2. The speed at which a tire can carry its maximum load is determined by its speed rating (letter), it’s a durability vs. capability thing.
