I would like to see the reasoning on why Ford likes LT tires on Super Duty trucks but not F150 other than ride quality.
Cost...LT's cost more than same size passenger (P) tire
And many place ride quality higher than most anything else on their have to have list
X2...and Fords F150HDPP with its 4800 rawr comes OEM with LT tires per FMVSS requirements for a tire with a minimum 2400 + lb load requirements.
I wouldn't buy a 1/2 ton with LT E tires on it and from experience of having used LT E on 1/2 ton trucks I don't want or need or will I buy them pulling my 10k car hauler with 9460 lbs on the trailers axles.
P tires today use 44-51 psi for max pressures.
I have a set of LT C at 50 psi off road tires for the wifes 1500 4wd chevy for off road/pasture/muddy work sites. But for towing a 10k trailer the OEM P size at 44 psi work better towing.
