towing and LT's
I'm trying to get all of my ducks in a row before I buy tires. I was wondering if I can just get "regular" tires (35x12.50 18's), or LT tires (325/65/18)? I'm towing a boat (about 4500lbs), and didn't know since it's not that much if I needed to go to an LT tire?? I read that the sidewalls on the LT were stiffer causing it to be a little unstable, but didn't know if that applied to towing also. thanks again

Re: towing and LT's
They are stiffer and that causes the ride to be MORE stable, not less. But they are also a little rougher for daily driving.

Re: towing and LT's
Yes. I would stick with the LT's if I were you.

Re: towing and LT's
I like LT's better. P-Rated tires just feel too soft for what I put them through.

Re: towing and LT's
awesome, thanks guys. I was really wanting to get the new Nitto Trail Graps, but they don't have a 325/65/18 yet. Hopefully by next summer they will. Thanks again

Re: towing and LT's
A 35/1250/18 should still be a LT tire. I have Toyo MT's in that size. They are E rated (10 ply) and are stiffer than a mofo! Not to mention they weigh 83 lbs a piece. Some of the 325's are rated E too though.

Re: towing and LT's
To the OP...
The factory "P" rated tires that came with the Titan have the capacity for towing, provided you don't overload it... LT tire will give you more capacity at higher pressures, and of course a stiffer ride due to the all ready mentioned stiffer sidewall. BTW You don't need "E" rated tires....
