If you were replying to me, no.
I am saying a "P275/70R18" tire cannot be E rated. E is a rating for LT tires, not P tires.
Your first post stated that the "P" tire was rated load range E, as quoted.
To further complicate the issue, tires are now all rated with a "Service Description" regardless of P or LT. This consists of a load index and a speed rating, a three digit number (or two) and a letter.
