Light Truck (LT) Tires
Light truck (LT) tires use an LT-metric construction designed for heavier loads, higher inflation pressures, and the abuse of towing and commercial use. Compared with P-metric passenger tires, LT casings typically have stiffer sidewalls and load ranges such as C, D, or E that map to how much weight each tire can carry at a given pressure. LT does not automatically mean off-road—many LT tires are highway-oriented—but the construction is what your truck needs when you are near gross vehicle weight. Match load range and ply rating to your door placard and real-world hauling, not just the tread pattern you like.

Common questions
What is the difference between LT and P-metric tires?
P-metric tires are sized for passenger cars and light-duty use with softer ride tuning. LT-metric tires are built to carry heavier loads with stiffer sidewalls. Using a P-metric tire on a truck that requires LT can overload the casing and is unsafe at full capacity.
What do load range and ply rating mean?
Load range (C, D, E, and so on) tells you how much load the tire supports at its maximum rated pressure. Ply rating is a legacy strength label—modern tires may list fewer actual plies while still meeting the same load range. Always follow the placard on your vehicle.
Do LT tires ride harsher than P-metric?
Often yes, because the sidewalls are stiffer to control heat and flex under load. Many drivers accept the firmer ride in exchange for stability when towing or carrying tools and cargo every day.
Can I mix LT and P-metric tires?
Avoid mixing constructions across an axle. All four tires should meet or exceed the load capacity your manufacturer specifies. If you are unsure, stick with the construction and load range listed for your trim.
