Guide to Light Truck and Commercial Tyres

LT and commercial light-truck tyres suit working utes, vans, and small trucks that see payloads, towing, and rough yards. They trade some comfort for durability and higher pressure capacity.

P-metric vs LT on a ute

Near-limit towing or constant heavy trays warrants LT; lightly loaded suburban utes may stay on P-metric if placard allows.

Tread patterns

Rib designs for highway efficiency; aggressive shoulders for muddy worksites.

Pressure discipline

Adjust pressures for load — door placards list light vs heavy configurations on some vehicles.
