I have some old LT 'C' rated tires on My 3/4 ton Van that need to be replaced. They are rated for 1984 LBs each. While Online shopping I see that they offer passenger tires in the Xtra load format which can handle 2183 lbs each.
My Gvrw is 6400 lbs, and I'm about 1100 lbs under this.
I really just want the tire which can resist punctures the best, and not have a squishy sidewall. I've got rear airbags, brand new, stiffer front coil springs and KYB Gas A Just shocks on each corner. The Cadilliac ride is gone, and good riddance.
What should I go for, LT tires or passenger tires with xtra load?
I'm considering the Yokohama Geolanders AT-S or Michelin LTX A/T 2. My current LT Michelins(xcx-apt) are 8 years old and have withstood some incredible abuse with lowered tire pressures while high speed driving on heavily washboarded dirt roads, and the foolish application of dollar store tire shine products. The sidewalls are heavily cracked now.
Thanks
