not so sure of all p metric tires being 4 ply as some brands of tires carry a p metric standard load & p metric Extra Load & a Lt in the same tire design. The EXTRA LOAD actaully have a more load capacity then the LT by about 30-50 lbs per tire depending on manufacturer

Exam: Lt 235/75R15 Crawler M/T (C)
Tread Depth:
16/32”

Max Load:
1,985 lbs

Outer Diameter:
29.1”

Max PSI:
50 psi

Compared to P Metric

235/75R15 Crawler M/T (P)
Tread Depth:
16/32"

Max Load:
2,028 lbs

Outer Diameter:
29.1”

Max PSI:
44 psi


Several brands have LT,P std load, & P metric XL=Extra Load all in the same design & tread pattern & depth

I ran P215/70R15 on my old 98. Had no issues, ran them @ 30-35psi for everyday stuff, or @45psi if I was towing a small trailer/ jet-ski/ or hauling in the bed. SUCKED in the snow, took 9 cinder blocks to make it go as good as the previous LT BFG A/Ts.

Kinda funny actually... P-metric tires on forged aluminum Alcoa wheels.

My Ranger came with P tires and I have always used P tires. Its 2wd and never hauls anything heavy. Using Coopers now. Coopers are quieter than the Tiger Paws I used for many, many years. That's my original Firestone spare tire. And a photo of one of the 3 Delta Road Max tires that came on the deerhoof rims I bought.
