A lot of people put heavier LT, E rated tires on their trucks as replacement for the stock P rated tires. I know the extra unsprung weight is a disadvantage, but many claim they wear more evenly and that the extra plies, along with more tread depth, are worth the extra price and slight hit in mpg.
Has anyone heard of E rated tires wearing more evenly than a P rated tire would? When 30+ psi is causing me excessive center treadwear on my back tires, there are others with my truck type running E rated tires at 55psi claiming they wear evenly.
Could the extra plies just make them so much more rigid in their molded shape that, regardless of the extra psi, they maintain even tread contact?
