I didn't zoom, but I figured it was a "P" rated tire. Something else, when Michelin came out with the LTX and for several years had a 70,000 tread wear rating. When I went to replace mine 2 years ago, worn out at 47,000, the LTX was renamed LTX something. The only difference was the new logoed sidewall. But they dropped the treadwear rating down to 50,000. A tire shop put me onto this situation. The only 2 places I could find that would honor the treadwear mileage or lack thereof was Costco, but you only had one choice and that was a B F Goodrich something. Stopped at Discount Tire and asked if they would honor the treadwear on something else. They said "any tire we sell". And the tire tech smiled and said "evidently you know what "Bib" did. They gave me $40.00 each of the six tires. Needless to say "Bib" went bye-bye.
