Tire Rack lists the Goodyear Cargo G26 as an LT tire .
The 225/70R15 G26
2470# at 65 psi on an LT scale
tire weight is 33 #
diameter = 27.4" x 9 " section width
Cost is $ 156 each
The Goodyear "P " tire is a Wrangler
225/70R15
rated 1753 # on an P = passenger scale at 44 psi
diameter = 27.4" x 9 " section width
Tire weight = 27 #
Cost is $ 106 each
The Goodyear Marathon " ST " tire is a Marathon
225/75R15
rated 2540# # on an ST scale at 65 psi
diameter = 28.3" x 8.8 " section width
Tire weight = 31 #

JJ refers to " they do not exclude Euro Metric "
Huh ?
Who says a commercial G26 is a Euro Metric P tire ?
JJ makes the assumption that the G26 is a Euro Metric P tire .
Show me ...
All 3 tires are Goodyear .
The heaviest and most expensive is the G26 .
The cheapest tire is the ST Marathon .
Yet the Marathon carries the highest placarded sidewall for weight rating .
The G26 is an LT tire .
The G26 is not a P tire as JJ has asserted .
I used Goodyear brand exclusively to remove branding from the variables .
Poring over the charts I find little difference between brands for tire weight , diameter , section width as regards the majority of ST tires .
Regarding "civilians" I do not see any of them willing to research the details just provided .
They have better things to do , of course .
