Light Truck Tire

The "LT" designation stands for "Light Truck."  These tires are intended for more severe use often seen on trucks and follow load and inflation standards established by the Tire and Rim Association (TRA).  Load Index values and load capacities for these tires can be found in TRA manuals.

About Air Pressure

With the right amount of air pressure, your tires will perform better, wear longer and save fuel. The "right amount" of air pressure for the original equipment or same size tires is specified by the vehicle manufacturer and may be different for front and rear tires. Check with your Nitto dealer if the replacement tires on your vehicle are no longer the same size as the O.E. tires.

Mud and Snow Designation

The "M+S" indicates the tire is designed for mud and snow applications. The Mud and Snow designation may also appear as "M&S" or "M/S."
