I would like to know what is the difference because we can't get an answer from the tires shops or from Bridgestone other than the usual marketing mumbo jumbo.
Looking at size 265-75-16, Bridgestone Revo AT come in both a Pmetric and LT version.
The tires are obviously different. LT has 1/16 more tread depth and .3" more tread width but cost $30 more per tire and a Load Range C 2470 @ 50psi
The P metric rated "standard load" has a rating 260l lbs @44 psi. Which is strange because you would think a Light Truck tire would hold more weight than a Passenger Car tire? Right? I don't know?
REVO SPECS from www.tirerack.com
So is there a difference in construction?
The way the test and rate the tires?
Is 1/16 of tread worth $120 more for a set of tires?
I don't know.
