LT tyres are intended for use on vehicles designed for heavier hauling and towing duties. This includes medium-duty and heavy-duty pickup trucks with three-quarter-ton to 10-ton capacity, as well as select SUVs and full-size vans or Minibus. LT tyres achieve higher load ranges, usually have a deeper tread and thick rubber in the sidewall, under tread thus offering more protection. Plus, they are constructed with heavier plies and often have an extra steel belt.
