CapriRacer is one of our resident tire engineers. I'm reasonably sure he has a sound reason for that statement.
Yup, that's right.
An LT type tire needs 15 psi more to carry the same load as a P type tire of the same dimensions. (For those who are going to check, don't forget to include the 1.1 derating factor for P type tires used in an LT application.)
