None. You'll see them listed in various ways, but if you walk into a tire shop, saying "265/75/16" is all that matters. Although you also have to deal with a P (passenger) rated tire or a LT (light truck) rated tire, such as p265/75/16 or LT265/75/16E.Infinity-x wrote:Thanks!

I've checked out the site, thanks for the suggestion! They have a good selection of tires in the size I want, but their Offroading ones are a bit pricer than what I could find elsewhere. I guess it's a matter of if I want namebrand or offbrand (higher vs lower price). I have a somewhat hefty commute, about 45 minutes one way so for practical reasons I shouldn't be looking at offroad tires, but I think they'd beef up the look of the vehicle so that's why I'm leaning towards them.Kestral wrote:Check out Vulcan tire on line they have a nice selection of aggressive tires you may like and they are a reputable on line company I believe it's Vulcantire.com
I agree they do beef up the look of the truck but the tire noise of beefy tires gets real old after several miles that's why I stick with quiet AT tires. I love the look of a good mudder but a quiet AT is about as aggressive as I can stand on the road.Infinity-x wrote:I've checked out the site, thanks for the suggestion!

Bump. need some help to see if you guys think these will fit?Infinity-x wrote:Okay so I've got my eyes on something like this.. may not do the same exact setup but this is the look I want:

Can anyone tell me if those would fit without modification? My end goal is to put those on first and then shortly after add a 1.5 inch spacer to them.

As to the comment above - these tires have fairly good ratings as being quieter on the highway as compared to Centennial's other M/T tires. But my concern is even though these are 265/75/16 that they won't fit. HELP!! lol
I did see Labsy's comment and am taking it into consideration. I live in South Carolina so we *rarely* see any snow or icy conditions so I'm not too worried about that. I would be concerned about slipping on wet tarmac, but at ~50k or so on tires I would come to expect that would happen as they are nearing the end of their useful life.disallow wrote:They go on sale regularly up here in Canada for about $180 per tire for the P rated ones. Just over $200 for LT E-rated.
But I would read this before pulling the trigger:

Specifically Labsy's comment (last one of the thread on page .
P rated almost always come with some kind of treadwear warranty, whereas few of the LT tires do. P are more suited to pavement, although I have been off road with P rated tires for many, many years. P rated are lighter in weight. For example, you could have a P rated tire that weighs 48lbs & the same size tire in LT that comes in at 56lbs. Typically the biggest drawback with LT tires, because of the extra weight, is increased stopping distance, lower mpg (I have not seen this with mine) and a slight loss of perceived power. Biggest advantage with LT is ruggedness-they are built to withstand more abuse. Another advantage is tread depth. Again, looking at a P rated and LT rated tire of the same size, the P rated will have less depth. This varies from tire to tire, but LT tires can have anywhere from 4 to 6/32" more depth. P rated tires operate best at the PSI stated by the vehicle's mfr. Run a P rated over or under that pressure and bad things can happen. LT tires are far more flexible with PSI, meaning that they can be dropped below the mfrs stated PSI for off road, or quite a bit above for highway or the load being carried. This leads to LT tires also being able to carry heavier loads than P rated tires, but you will be running a higher PSI on a daily basis. There are charts out there on tire mfr sites that show what load corresponds to what PSI, so you can see what you generally need to be at to be comparable to a P rated tire. For instance, I believe my Pathfinder door sticker says something like 32 PSI per tire. I'm running about 41 PSI right now for my C rated LT tires. And then you have different flavors of LT tires, such as C, D and E.Infinity-x wrote: Still searching around though.. what's the difference between P rated and LT E-Rated?

Very confused.. but not because of your post - simply because I know nothing of tires ... I always appreciate information first hand from someone that has the same vehicle as me vs. going to a generic article that was written no telling how long ago.NVSteve wrote:P rated almost always come with some kind of treadwear warranty, whereas few of the LT tires do.

Confused yet? Sorry for the jumble of an answer. Best bet is to google your question. Tons of sites out there discuss the differences.
