My old stock Wrangler AT "P" rated 265 70R 17 tires are up for replacement. I know the "LT" are optimum for towing, but was wondering if I really need them? Cost is not a factor between the P and L...
I've had my current tow vehicle for a long time and multiple sets of tires. On the last iteration I switched back to P rated. It was a significant step backwards for towing, even though they're rated way beyond what I haul or tow. I have to air them up to their max 51 PSI to even come close to the stability I got around 40 PSI on the LTs. I was expecting mileage to improve too, but it didn't. I personally can't notice enough difference in ride quality to matter. Learned my lesson.
