What is the question? You already answered them all except whether white letter in or out is better....
There is nothing magical about P or LT, or the tweener XL designation.
Either it has the capacity you're looking for or it doesn't.
One nice thing about tires is you can over tire it and still have both. You haul a sizable trailer based on your pic.
My advice would be buy some D or E load tires, run them at low pressure for daily driving and air up the rears appropriately when towing.
The question was if the larados were an LT tire... They are not. Without the P they are euro metric I just found out...
And thats what my size of 265 70 17 shows...
These tires need to be derated 9-10% when installed on a truck..so the 2436 gets reduced to 2216 lbs... AFAIK...
I dont think I can put a load e on my truck as the rim pressure would be 80 psi... My tires now ar 44 psi ones...
Maybe a load range c 50 psi tire but I dont want to break the bank here..
I can get the lareados for $130 a tirs. Plus $100 mount and balance.. Thats still like 628 bucks... Ouch
