I said, "Just patch the damn thing and let me worry about that."
Needless to say, it's still going strong.

I keep seeing people say the "P" in a tire size means passenger. The "P" stands for p-metric and deals with tire sizing. It is perfectly fine to have p-metric tires on trucks or SUV's. Most 1/2 ton trucks will come with p-metric tires. One ton and 3/4 ton trucks will come with LT tires.

The P in P-metric stands for passenger

That would be news to me. I've been in the tire business for ten years and have never heard anyone refer to it as passenger.

I'm not being a smartass, I really have never heard passenger mentioned when referring to this. You learn something new on TD everyday.

They are just constructed differently than LT tires. Composition is different in most cases also. Most tire manufacturers recommend getting an LT on a truck. Truck manufacturers use p-rated ones specifically for mpg and ride purposes.
If people wanna put passenger tires on a light truck, more power to them. Any legitimate tire shop wouldn't put them on a 3/4 or 1-ton for a reason. Why does that reason disappear when you step down to a 1/2 ton?

Doesnt matter if your car tells you what each tires psi
is. If you rotate your tires they are gonna be all out of place anyway. your still gonna have to go around and figure out which rim was on the front left to begin with.

Exactly, so IMO just use an old school gauge and forget about the automatic bullshite.

you do know there is a way to reset which TPMS is where don't you?
most of the time you don't need to take it to a shop to do so.

I know on GM trucks you can but I'm not sure how that would work for the older Fords.
