what are lt tires

LT tires, which stands for "light truck" tires, are specifically engineered for use with trucks, full-size SUVs, and vans. They are reinforced with extra steel belts, thicker and stiffer sidewalls, and a deeper tread, making them suitable for hauling, working, and driving on non-paved roads. LT tires are available in a variety of ply levels, typically ranging from Load Range C (6 ply) to Load Range E (10 ply), and even higher for commercial truck-bus tires. They are designed to handle heavy loads and towing, and they provide more stability while hauling loads or driving off-road. However, they may not ride as smooth, be as fuel-efficient, or last as long as regular passenger tires. Whether to use LT tires depends on the vehicle, driving style, and terrain, and it is important to check the vehicle's specifications to determine if LT tires are necessary
