Did my first tow on the new tires and what a difference. Can't believe how more stable the ride is.
With the P series, a gust of wind would hit the rig and push me a bit. Then the rig would wobble a bit left to right until it stabilized. With constant wind gusts, this made driving a definite 2 handed job and sometimes with white knuckling it.
With the new tires, we had a lot of wind from previous rain storms. While the wind pushed me like before, it was a none issue, and the rig maintained it's stability with absolutely no wobbling left to right! This is why I bought these tires. It's like a night and day difference. One handed driving was easy but I still use 2 handed driving with the rig for safety.
The LT tires (10 Ply E Load rating) are only a bit stiffer unloaded but offer a more stable, confident ride empty. I actually prefer it to the empty ride of the P series that had poorer handling and more bouncy ride from the softer tires.
After having both, I really don't know why makers put P series tires on trucks. I can see it on Full Size SUVs that are essentially grocery getters, but trucks are meant to do work.
