What do the letters LT mean on tires?
The LT designation indicates that the tire is designed and manufactured for use on light trucks, SUVs, and pickup trucks.

These tires are more durable and capable of handling heavier loads than standard passenger car tires, making them suitable for hauling heavy loads or towing trailers.

The LT designation is typically found on the sidewall of the tire, along with other important information such as tire size, maximum load capacity, and speed rating.

Will LT tires last longer?
LT (Light Truck) tires are generally designed to be more durable and handle loads better than standard tires.

This means they are made of stronger materials; for example, the sides of the tire are reinforced, making them more durable.

However, tire life can be affected by several factors, such as tire quality, driving conditions, and tire maintenance.

Off-road driving, overloading the vehicle, or not maintaining proper tire pressure can also contribute to faster tire wear, whether it's an LT tire or a passenger car tire.
