Extra Load Vs. LT Tires

[muttmutt]

Wanting to get rid of the G/Year SRA's. Going to a 305/55r20. How much difference in ride quality would I expect between the XL and LT. I do haul a 6500 lb Toyhauler several times a year. Only available tire in the XL is Nitto G2 in a AT tire, but priced higher that the LT for some reason. I don't want a super rough ride but need something a little more that the SRA's . Thanks

I just had my Nitto Terra Grappler G2s in 305/60/R18 mounted Sat morning. My size was not the LT rated so they have less load capacity, less PSI capacity and 65k mile rated instead of 50k. Of course still more than stock ratings.

Anyway I like it, feel it rides nice. I did come from 35" Mud Terrains though. My truck does not pull to the right anymore...

LT Tires, at 44 , 50 even 55ps, are not rough riding, ti is only when they are cranked up to 80psi, for hauling that the ride gets stiffer adn then, not really, cuz you got tons of other stuff affecting the ride besides a stiffer sidewall set of tires.
