It is not just TireRack saying they are for trailer use. The Discount
Tire website now says it too, along with many others. I wonder how easy
you would find it now if you went in again and tried to get some to put
on a Westy. I can see some tire guys refusing to order them just on that
basis. It might take some talking.

Karl was fine with the tire only after his conversation with his engineering buddy.  Fine.  Good for him for wanting to be sure.  But when the tire is marketed worldwide for van, bus, and truck applications, including in the U.S. though mentioned secondarily here to its trailer application because of size only, why would people be so silly as to rely only on Tire Rack?
