Which RV Tires... ST or LT ??

Time to put new tires on my 31' Aplenlite. It came with LT235 85 16R load range E Goodyear Wrangler HT's.

When I went to my local tire shop (Les Schwab) and asked them if I should put LT tires on this rig or switch to ST, I don't really think he knew. First of all they don't carry ST tires at Les Schwab in that size. Their solution was to put LT (regular truck tires) back on.

I would like some opinions as to which tires you fellow trailer haulers are using, and any knowledge you have on this subject. I really don't need a reply that says "I've been driving on LT tires for 100 years and never had a problem." I'd really like someone "who knows tires" to chime in and provide some info. If you recommend LT tires, what brand?..
