That would be nice in a perfect world with unlimited funds. I am thinking more that a non LT type tire would be better suited for such a light trailer.
A 265/70/16 has a larger tread width and about the same height and I can still use the same wheels
Mike,
My personal beliefs are this.... you use, and drive, your trailer hard (NOT abusive)...the LT's give an added level of "security" and road (or trail) worthiness that is tough to compete with on a non LT tire..how much does it cost when you run into problems on back trails? (and please don't misconstrue that a wise *** question) I think the benefit of an LT, by far out weigh the cost. If you find a happy medium, I would certainly love to hear what it was. AS it was explained to me by a very a very reliable source, a trailer that runs a "non-slipper spring" set up (yours and mine) can be subject to harmonic imbalance that can lead to non-typical things happening behind the tow vehicle...i.e. uncontrollable sway..etc.
So my thought is this...if you can at least take the tires out of that formula.. that may be a good starting point. Load distribution, tongue weight, etc. are also things that can be looked at. On a lesser tire the sidewall flex may be an Achilles heel.
