Yes, a good LT tire will last longer.
Just to clarify, the LT tires are also radials (which is a good thing), you are probably running the standard P-metric tires that come on our trucks. I do a good amount of towing heavy trailers (skidsteer, dump & landscape trailers) and noticed an instant improvement when I upgraded to LT's. Got almost 50k out of my Goodyear Wrangler ProGrade Silent Armor's before I swapped them out. Probably could have left 'em on for another 10-15k, but I like to change tires out when they hit the 25-30%.I need new tires and am considering LT tires for my 04 Titan. I pull a 6500 lb. travel trailer several thousand miles a year and am wondering if LT tires would last longer that radial tires. I've worn out 3 sets of radials in 76k miles.
Thanks for any thoughts or experiences.
Correct. LT tires ride rough, weigh more and cost more. Plus, finding them on 20" wheels could be challenging.I just bought some Pro Comp 20" wheels and will need to purchase some new tires soon. After reading through this thread -- if I never do any towing, and would prefer a better ride and better MPG, it sounds like P tires are best option for me, right?
