SUV/Light Truck Tires or Passenger Tires?

Question

I have a 96 cherokee and the size of tires is P225/75R15. It doesn't snow where I live and I just drive my car on highway and don't put any load on it whatsoever. My question is: Can I get Passenger tires that are the same size as SUV/Light Truck tires but way cheaper? What is the deal with that, since both have the same characteristics (Load and Speed Index), Please help. Thanks

Answer 2

yes.

Answer 3

yes you can.  the tires on your car are passenger tires.

in the tire size, P225/75R15  the P stands for Passenger.  if they were truck tires they'd start LT for Light Truck.

the other numbers are the width in millimeters, the sidewall as a percentage of the width, the R is for Radial and the 15 is for rim size in inches.
