My GMC 1500 came with car tires (P) and it drives, well like a car. They are now worn, so I need new tires. I am definitely going with truck tires (LT). There is a good sale on a model of Goodyear only sold at Canadian Tire, price is hard to beat. Only potential issue is that they are load range "E", which is 10 ply. Given my trailer has a GVWR of 6000lbs, I don't need that heavy of a tire, I was more looking for a "C", maybe "D".
My only concern is the harsh ride of the 10 ply. I don't mind a truck driving like a truck, I had 6 ply on my Xterra which was also over rated for the vehicle, it drove a little bit rough, but cornered way better than P rated tires.
For those of you that have 10 plys on their half ton and usually drive with unloaded like me, I'd like to get your opinion on the ride. I certainly expect a rougher ride then the crap I have on right now, it's just how harsh.
Thanks,
