I hear you elhigh, I put LT tires on this truck and my fuel economy went way down. So even though I have lots of tread left, I don't need the extra load rating and I'm going to swap them out and put the LTs on Craigslist. It makes sense--over the remaining life of the tires even if I just threw these tires away the new tires would pay for themselves.
