Light Truck Tires (LT) verses Standard Load Tires(SL), Which is right for you? | Harry Situations

Toyota puts Standard Load (SL) tires on Toyota Tacomas from the factory (even the off road models), despite them not being nearly as robust as the Light Truck (LT) tires that are offered from the factory on the Chevy Colorado ZR2 and Ford Ranger Tremor. Why does Toyota do this? Standard Load tires are lighter, less expensive, and provide less rolling resistance that LT tires. That equates to better fuel mileage, but you won’t be thinking about your mileage if you get a puncture on the trail. Is this is a rational concern or overkill for most Tacoma owners? Nitto offers the Recon Grappler in the popular 285/70R17 size in both a SL (Standard Load) and LT (Light Truck) carcass. The Standard Load tire weighs 49 pounds, is rated to carry 2756 pounds each at 44 psi, and has 13.6/32nds tread depth. In contrast, the LT Recon Grappler weighs 55 pounds, is rated to carry 3750 pounds at 80 psi, and has 16/32nds tread depth. Are LT tires necessary if you take your Tacoma off-road or are Standard Load tires perfectly acceptable? Or even advantageous? Keep watching to find out!
