Forum Discussion
There are many threads about tires that turn into an adversarial discussion on this forum .
The most logical solution is to improve the load rating of your tires by weight capacity listed on the sidewall .
P tires must be derated by 9 % to be compared to ST or LT tires .
The quantifiable solution is to go to a Load Range D tire ( Or E ) in the size you have .
If you have room (as I do ) you can also go up to a 225/75 R 15 tire in Load Range D , or E , or C to improve your safety margin .
The load rating in pounds capacity is more important than brand assuming you are comparing ST tires . LT tires are held to a tougher standard than ST tires .
If you go to tire rack dot com you can try searching for different sizes and you will find some LT alternates in 215/70 , 235/75 , and so forth .
There will be all of the data on tire rack to get to a 2271 # rating or higher that will give you a nice margin .
The solution proposed by WestEnd is also a good one .
