The following is a quote a verbatim quote from the pages of a RVIA tire PDF.

" ST tires have strengthened sidewalls to prevent the tire from rolling under the rim in turns when cornering. P & LT tires, on the other hand, have flexible sidewalls to allow for greater traction and ride comfort. Sidewall flexing on trailers, especially those with high center of gravity or that carry heavy loads (such as travel trailers of fifth wheel trailers), is a primary cause of trailer sway. Therefore, the stiffer sidewalls and higher operating pressures common with ST tires help reduce trailer sway."
