So the thing that made me decide to go passenger rated is almost every 1/2 ton truck you buy will come with passenger rated tires. With 1:2 tons their load carrying capacity is easily covered by the load capacity of a passenger tire.

If you did a ton of heavy towing I would say ok the stuffer sidewall in the lt load range E might help you out. But otherwise all it does is add weight and stiffens ride when not needed.

I only tow a small flat bottom boat.

I do frequent public hunting areas with roads that can be rough (pot holes).

Falken has a 275/60/r20. Which measures 33.1”x10.8” weighs 47.8lbs and has a load carrying capacity of 2679/tire.

Your current 285/55/20 measures 32.4x11.2. The wild peak version weighs 58.2lbs and has a load carrying capacity of 3305lbs/tire.

From quick searching you shouldn’t have any fittest issues on your tundra. Your gas mileage should see a pretty appreciable increase and the ride will be noticeably softer. Unless you really load the bed of your truck up heavy often I don’t think the Lt is necessary.
