Before buying LT tires: passenger and light truck tire sizes
Light truck tires are tires for pickups, full-size SUVs and vans, sold in two size systems: P-metric (passenger) and LT-metric (light truck). An LT tire is built with heavier internal construction than a P-metric tire of the same size and carries more weight at a higher pressure: a P265/70R17 113T is rated for 2,535 lb per tire, while an LT265/70R17 121/118S load range E is rated for 3,197 lb per tire.
LT load ranges to check when ordering
LT tire load ranges set the maximum inflation pressure and the load an LT tire can carry at that pressure. Load range C is rated at 50 psi, load range D at 65 psi, load range E at 80 psi and load range F at 95 psi. Load range E is the standard fitment on three-quarter-ton and one-ton pickups such as the Ford F-250 and Ram 2500.
Single and dual load indexes to check when buying LT tires
LT tires carry two load indexes, such as 121/118: the first number applies when the LT tire runs alone on an axle end, and the second applies when two LT tires run side by side on a dual-rear-wheel truck. An LT tire rated 121/118 carries 3,197 lb single and 2,910 lb in a dual pair.
Choosing light truck tires for half-ton vs. heavy-duty pickups
Half-ton pickups such as the Ford F-150, Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and Ram 1500 leave the factory on P-metric or Euro-metric tires on most trims, with LT tires on off-road trims. Heavy-duty pickups such as the Ford F-250 and F-350, Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD, and Ram 2500 and 3500 leave the factory on LT tires.
Why LT-equipped trucks buy LT replacements
A truck that came with LT tires should stay on LT tires, because a P-metric tire fitted to a light truck loses capacity: the P-metric load rating is divided by 1.10 on light-truck applications. A P265/70R17 113T rated for 2,535 lb drops to about 2,305 lb on a light truck, below the 3,197 lb of the LT265/70R17 load range E it would replace.
Choosing LT truck tires by terrain
- Highway LT truck tires fit trucks driven and towing on paved roads, with the longest tread life.
- All-terrain LT truck tires fit trucks that split time between pavement and gravel, dirt and trails.
- Mud-terrain LT truck tires fit trucks used for deep mud, rocks and off-road driving.
What sets light truck tire prices before you buy
Light truck tire prices depend on size, load range and tread type. Larger wheel diameters cost more, load range E usually costs more than load range C in the same size, and mud-terrain LT tires usually cost more than highway LT tires. Buyers looking for cheap LT tires save the most by ordering the load range and tread type the truck needs, not the heaviest option: a half-ton pickup on P-metric tires that tows occasionally does not need load range E.
