Bill, I read that article also, and believe the author (that you are just quoting from Casa Dos' post) made a misprint in organizing her sources for all the info. Trailer tires are not designed to give a soft ride. I have stated before that with 50-65 psi, you're not going to have a "soft" anything. Radial trailer tires might give a little "softer" ride.
I was looking at TaskMaster tires, but they don't make the 215/75R14 size.....however they did have a document that might be interesting reading as to the differences between passenger, trailer, and LT tires. It's called "Why buy trailer tires". Even this article has a few things I don't agree with either.

EDIT: Back on the subject of using LT truck tires on the TrailManor, I believe is going to be a mute point. Being the common sizes and plies seem to be a 215/75R14 Load range C (6 ply rating) and a 225/75R15 Load Range D (8 ply rating), I don't think you will EVER find these tires produced in anything but a ST trailer tire. If anybody can find them manufactured in a LT tire, I'd be interested in them sharing this info, so I can look into them. Thanks
