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)...

Obviously, it depends on the 1/2 ton truck doesn't it? Two 2300# tires on my rear axle do not equal the rear axle rating of 4800# my F150 has. Ford put OEM LRE tires on it, but my 2014 truck has the HD payload package.
Now, I understand Ford began using LTC tires on later models with the HDPP so maybe they decided LTE tires were overkill. However, since LTE's were on my truck originally, I'll keep putting then on.

I have the exact truck and will stick with the P tires vs going LT. At least with my trailer, 6000# and 800# of TW, the trailer tows fine with these tires. Each of my truck's Michelin P tires is rated over 2300# my 4 which means my 4 tires are already rated way higher than my max GVW! I prefer to keep the softer ride when not towing as long as my tow experience is already fine.
