I am a Michelin man .
I just bought a new set of Michelin LT 265/75R16 LRE for my duramax to replace the same size Michelins that went 60,000 miles and were not quite to the wear bars .
The P rated tires are derated by 10 % load rating for light truck load ratings .
So the 2183 # rating is 1964 # on an LT scale .
Still , Michelin has consistently made the best tires available for decades .
The G26 load index is 112 / 108R .
The second number 108R is for dual rear wheel rating , the first number 112 is single tire rating .
