Max speed rating 65 and not designed for drive and steering loads. Poor performance under any conditions and potentially dangerous under certain conditions.

But hey, if you like to live on the edge, by all means - go for it!

I believe the "ST" in the size is a classification for trailer service. At least that's my understanding. Something like Special Trailer, or Service Trailer.

Direct from www.tirerack.com

"ST = If a tire size begins with "ST," it signifies the tire is a "Special Trailer Service" size that was designed to only be used on boat, car or utility trailers. ST-sized tires should never be used on cars, vans or light trucks."
