A lot depends...mainly on how you drive and how you use your truck
IN the old days...going from "P" clas (passenger tire class that must be derated min 9% when used on pickups) to the next higher class "LT" (light truck class) was a good thing if you used your truck as a truck more than a car
But...with the lower profile tires (lower numeric aspect ratio) has thee sidewalls much shorter and stronger than before on 'P' class tires...heck, any class tires
Because of that lower profile sidewall, it is stiffer than before and most half ton trucks really don't need to move up in class...unless they are really pushing their trucks ratings by going close to...at the the limits/raatings
There is also more to it than just changing tire class. There are other attributes to that system. Mainly the wheels. They must be able to handle the higher PSI's and service duty. Also, make sure your pressure sensors are good for the higher class tire pressures
