XL vs LT tires?
So thinking about getting some new tires this spring and moving up to either XL or LT tires. Not sure which is the better option for me? I have a 2018 F150 with OEM P tires now. Towing 6500lb (dry)...

I would do an XL or LR C. No reason to spend extra on a 10ply LR E tire. I found no handling difference between a LR D and E tire other than an extra $10-20 per tire out of my pocket when both are run in the 50-60 psi range, and appropriate weights per axel.
I also had not heard of the derate the XL by 9%, I have heard that with P metric.

Told my Boss' son to throw on a set of Michelin "E" on his 99 1/2 ton Chevy years ago. He ran those tires at what was recommended and went 150k.
Good for him. I'm shocked his wheels did not grenade.
I'm not. If there were load range f tires for my wheels, I'd install them on my wheels and air them up all the way without a doubt.
