Re: Tire confusion

It is odd that the specifications listed in your links show "P/LT" for every tire on both lists - even though some of the sizes listed only come one way and not the other. Makes me believe whoever made up the list does not understand tire sizing.

The good news is that your sizes CAN NOT be LT type tires.

But relative to the "SUV" in the tire name. It is also odd that a 205/70R15 is using that name when most vehicles that use that size are passenger cars. I strongly suspect another case of someone not knowing the tire business very well.

Best guess: The "SUV" is a branding thing and has nothing to do with its suitability for a particular vehicle type.
