If you look carefully, you will find that some folks include the letters "LT" AFTER the size - which is the proper way to designate the size. Those letters are frequently omitted - as is the letter P in front of some P metric sizes.

But as I said before, the range of RR within a given size is HUGE!! So a comparison of a flotation sized tire to a regular LT tire, while somewhat problematic, is small, small potatoes.
I'll admit to being slightly confused about current LT designations. General's site has a spec list for the Grabber that I will post in a minute after I've reached my magical "5" post count that allows me to post links. They have three different 235/75R15 tires, with one of them being designated as an "LT" that, most notably to me, weighs .6 pounds more than either of the other 235s. Max load is close to 2000 pounds for each of the tires. If I go with these tires, I'll probably go with the 109T-rated mainly for the higher PSI rating.
