Well, in order to differentiate between truck and passenger vehicle tires, the letters LT and P are placed in front of the tire size. Unlike the Passenger tires, the Light Truck ones are used for carrying more loads. LT tires have a load range of 10 ply, whereas P tires only have a 4 ply load range.Click to see full answer. Accordingly, are LT tires better than P tires?LT tires are going to be more expensive than p-metric tires. The cords in a LT tire are a larger gauge than P-metric tires so the tire can carry heavier loads. Very often LT tires will have an extra steel belt, a deeper tread and thicker rubber in the sidewall for more protection vs a p-metric tire.Additionally, are 10 ply tires better? 10 ply is good for heavy duty off road and heavy loads from what a tire shop guy told me. GM puts P rated tires on their 1500 line of pickups, suvs and vans. You are stepping up from P rated tires to LT rated tires. unless you have a real legitimate need for 10 ply get the smoother riding 8’s. Considering this, what is an LT rated tire? LT Tires. LT is not a tire rating but a category of tire. LT stands for light truck and as the name suggests, these tires are designed for trucks and SUVs. The label LT is usually placed in front of the tire size.Can you mix LT and P tires?Generally, mixing tires is a bad idea, however, because different tires react differently to different heat ranges, inflations, driving ,and road conditions. RE: Mixing LT and P rated tires. Don’t do that.
