"– An "LT" designation, when shown on a trailer tire size specifies load range only, it is not designed for use on light trucks"
To the Thread at large:
I find it amazing that people who would never think of questioning the engineering and scientific facts of lets say Rocket Design feel that they are better equipped to decide what is "right" than the design engineers who make their living at designing tires for specific applications.
