Got me some new tires

[StickmanC]

I do not off-road at all so I went with some cheaper tires. I got 235/75/15 Dayton Timberline AT's. There are a couple of guys that I work with that have had good luck with them. I paid $341 for mounting, balancing and taxes. The only thing is they put on P235's instead of LT235's which is what I requested. I didn't notice till I got home. Got off midnights so I was shot . I was pizzed when I noticed but after looking at the load ratings I might just stay with the P235's. They are XL which has a heavier load rating than the C rating for the LT's. I do tow my Fish/ski occasionally which is about 3000lbs with 200lb toungue weight. The ride and noise are terrific and I picked up some Gabriel shocks to put on took help them out. What do you guys think, stay with the P's or request the LT's? Towing the boat is only a 26mile roundtrip.

I think All Ex's except for those equipped with tow package come with the P's (passenger). If I was going to do any towing I would go with the LT's (light truck). The side walls are more ridgid allow for loads and prevent excessive tire roll. I bought a pair of Yokohama Geolander A/T's last year. I'll tell ya, The best tire I have ever owned. Grabs everything, great in the snow, aggressive as all hell. I love 'em.

I'm just trying to decide if possibly sacrificing a softer ride for towing infrequently is worth it. I priced the Geo's also, I think they were in the neighborhood of $480.
