loosegoose >>> thanks Sir. I thought there shouldn't be a problem because they came off that pickup (P). Well, maybe I can save a little bit of money to get them changed sometime before fall. I appreciate the help very much.

You just dont want to shift into 4wd unless you are in slick conditions and make sure it shifts out when you shift it outwith different size tires (new mixed with old )some times they don't just shift out because they are in alittle bit of a bind

Using different tires means they're going to have different circumferences, even though they're marked the same size. Don't use 4wd unless you're on something that you can slip a little on-snow, grass, mud, etc are fine. Just don't use it on bare concrete, or you'll create a bind and could break something.

As long as the size is the same,the LT or P designation wont matter. Don't use different sizes.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

P tire should be a 4 ply tire and the LT tire should be 6 ply, My tires are LT and are 10 ply.

Thanks for the great advise. Always amazes me how much knowledge there is here and all the help I received. Thanks!
The tires I have on now are 6ply but I will e using those two P type on front. Just going to save me some cash I hope. When in 4x4 it is in mud, snow and ice and very seldom ever have it in 4x4 traveling Hwy's. I should be good to go with your advise.

Up here in northern Maine where we drive lots of miles on shale roads Load Range E tires are readily available even for 14" & 15" wheels. I'm about 15 miles from a town with a population of about 1300 people. The repair/tire shop there probably has the common sizes of "E's" in stock, if not they will have them in a day. Hey Mr. Okie how are things out in OK? I lived in Lawton for two years. We had some big bucks & nice elk on Ft Sill.

A lot of gyp rock roads here that are hard on tires, some old black top roads that would be better if they were rock.
