Which Tire and Why?
Shopping between these two tires for my 2002 F150. 1/2 ton truck, no cosmic towing or anything special. Just normal driving with the occasional tow or haul stuff.
The two tires are the exact same tire (leaving out brand and model so we stay on target, since I’m not looking for opinions on the tire itself), and exact same dimensions. Only difference is load rating type stuff….
34x12.50x18LT > Load range E > 121R
LT305/65R18 > Load range E > 124/121R
Both load range E, both posted as “light truck” (except for where the letters LT are in the title; don’t know what difference that would make).
What else would you use to choose between the two? Thanks guys.
Oh, I am getting new wheels at the same time, so I am not committed to a 18” wheel. Just chose 18” based off looks. So I would take opinions on going 18” wheel on a truck with all terrain tires
