"P" tire designation vs. "LT"
I bought a new Ram 1500 in 2011 that came with Goodyear Wrangler HP tires. The tires are P275/60R20 and I have only 15k miles on them. My question has to do with the "P" designation which I understand...

Before you look at LT tires, look at the newer XL rated P Metric tires. I came across this rating awhile back and looked into what the difference was, between the 3 ratings.......Amazing, the P Metric XL is basically the same as an LT load range C/D at a much better price. It has a stiffer sidewall than a basic P metric, will carry the same or close to the same weight as an equivalent LT and can be aired up to 55#.
Just put a set of Hankook Dynapros on my TV and I wanted a P rated tire for ride comfort. LT tires ride harsh. They can Handel the load and the ride is smooth. They are an XL rated tire with a 108 weight rating.
