To add another dimension the P vs LT argument, I run all terrain tires due to places we like to camp. P rated all terrains typically have shallower tread depth than LTs. This may have come into play a couple weeks ago where I was barely able to get the trailer out of the campground. I'm considering moving to mud terrains or similar next time, though I don't relish the road noise. Maybe a set of chains are in my future too. :)
Initial depth is one thing......at the end of a tires life, an LT and a P metric still only have a 1/4" of tread or less, so traction is the same!
Have not looked into the XL version tires, but at one time, I believe it is still truck, you need to derate a P metric when used in a truck or trailer application by 9% of the sidewall load ratings. Then again, LT tires, not sure about P metric, when used at speeds under 25mph, you can increase the sidewall amount by 50%!
Reality is, there is NO BEST tire brand or tread. Only what really works BEST FOR YOU! I know folks that swear by Michelin EPS ribs......you could not give me a set! UNLESS, it was a rwd rig, put ONLY on the front steer tire, and I had some EDE M+S or the most recent variation of it on the rear.
At the end of the day, make sure the rubber is round! Otherwise, you will not like how things handle......
