I've read so many pages of info related to tires, I just can't read anymore.
Analysis paralysis
The problem shouldn't be this difficult.
I have a 1996 S10 - 4.3 v6 with an automatic, and 250k miles on the clock and it need tires. 22 to 23mpg is what I've been getting very consistently. Mostly interstate driving. No need for off road or snow tires.
I want something that will not reduce mpg and also will last for a few years. (15k miles per yr) After all the reading, am I wrong to think that LT tires should do better than a P rated tire? If that is correct, should they do enough better to pay for the difference, since LT tires cost more?
And what about LRR tires?
205/75-15 is what is recommended. It wouldn't bother me to run a slightly different size, if the availability / price is better in another size.
Thoughts or suggestions appreciated.
