Tires: change passenger tire to light truck tires, goodyear integrity tires, hyundai entourage


Question
2007 hyundai entourage GLS WITH GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES 225/70R16: Is it a great idea to change my tires from (GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRES) 225/70R16 passenger tires to Light Truck Tires? - same size Could you please give me the PROS/CONS?

Answer
Don,

I am not a fan of replacing P type tires with LT type tires - and vice versa.

LT type tires require more inflation pressure to carry the same load.  LT tires are not designed with rolling resistance in mind.  They are designed to have high loading.

So they will be worse for fuel economy, ride, handling, dry traction, snow traction, wet traction, but better for wear.
