You are correct about a weight difference between LT and P rated truck tires. In this case, the Michelin LTX MS2 weighs 42 pounds in P designation and 50 pounds in the LT version. So an extra eight pounds of unsprung weight per corner of the truck is significant. That is almost 20 per cent more weight.
Are heavier or lighter tires better?
Are Heavier Wheels Better Than Lighter Wheels? Lighter wheels are better for fuel consumption. Heavy wheels add to the total weight of the vehicle. However, the weight of your wheels will not play a big role in acceleration, top speed, and the vehicle’s general performance on the road.
Do 10 Ply tires ride rough?
Yes, it will. The other downside is 10-plies are substantially heavier, which will drop your fuel mileage (you’re going from low 40s lbs/tire to mid 50s). There are a fair number of P-metric 275/60R20s out there (with the Defender LTX M/S being one of the best options).

Are heavier tires better?
No, heavier tires are not better in contrast to the common belief. They do not hold the road better or provide better handling/traction when pushing a car through a corner. Lighter tires and rims will make the car handling better and will make it easier for the suspension to control the movement of the car.
Do heavier tires affect gas mileage?
For example, larger tires decrease your fuel economy because they are heavier, while smaller tires increase fuel efficiency. Bigger tires also have a higher rolling resistance than smaller tires which means they require more resistance and effort to get them rolling.
Do heavier wheels ride better?
Heavier wheels will make a ride stiffer. However, heavier wheels will also provide better stability and handling on the road. Therefore, if you are looking for a more stable ride and you are willing to sacrifice some ride quality, then heavier wheels are the way to go.
