If you are an optimist who believes bad things only happen to other people (and its probably their fault when they do), you will stick with ST tires. If you are also stubborn, you will continue that line of reasoning even after you experience your first and subsequent ST tire failures. There may be no hope for you.

If you are a pessimist, who believes that bad things will always happen to you, you probably don't own a travel trailer in the first place. Everyone knows they are a death trap.

If you are an intelligent reasoning person, who likes to benefit from the experiences of others, you will read all the other threads and then pick the same type of LT tires they use. I would go so far as to say it will be manufactured by Michelin.

My recommendation is to fall in line behind all those here who have switched to the same Michelin tires with great success, so far.

P.S. There are many other types of personality. There's no telling what those goofy guys will do.
Or you could be a realist and understand there are a lot of tire choices for a lot of different usages. You would need to understand your specific usage and choose a tire/wheel combination that fits your specific application and not necessarily follow any one with a tire/wheel combination just because they said so.

Yeah, that's one of those other guys I mentioned. There's no predicting what they're going to do.

Michelin is currently offering a 70 dollar rebate when you buy a set of four. This brings the price on Michelin LTX MS2 235/75R/15 to 111.00 each plus 15.00 mount/balance (at Costco.com).
