Curious how much of a correlation there is between running an LT vs a P-metric and increased tire durability. Specifically in regards to picking up flats/puctures. Though LT's are certain much more robust, as evidenced by significantly higher tire weights, we are also well past the days of 10 ply and most models of tire have the same number of belts between their LT and P versions.
Anecdotally I have certainly picked up FAR fewer flats on LT tires and never once in my daily driver. At work I've had a few, mostly after extended runs down a shoulder during rush hour, though. I've picked up a number of flats in p-metrics over the years, though (most recently a piece of PLASTIC flatted my wife's Michelin Primacy XC).
