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 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.
So I looked up the OEM tires that came on the pickup and they also exceed the GVW and any payload I can put in the truck. I guess the only reason to really go XL or LT is the improved feel and towing experience of the stiffer sidewall.
