Best Answer

Yes. If you want to drive on road, good radial light truck tires will get you the best fuel economy & best ride. But if you are talking off-road, then you'll want really aggressive off-road tires such as Mudders, Super Swampers etc. But beware! Off-road tires will not stop a truck as well when you are

on road/highway on wet pavement such as rain, snow & ice. Stopping distance is increased by about 50%!

Passenger vehicle tires are to have a minimum tread depth of?

Most US states require a minimum of 2/32 of an inch (approximately 1.6 mm) of tread. If you intend to drive on wet roads 4 mm may be the minimum tread depth needed to stop and steer effectively. Without at least this much tread the tire cannot move water away from the tread fast enough to maintain adequate traction. To drive with less tread is not illegal until you reach the legislated minimums, but it may not be safe.

What is the difference between P225 75R15 and P235 75R15 tires?

The difference between a P225 75R 15 tire and a P235 75R 15 tire is the width of the tread and the height of the sidewall. The first number is the tread width in millimetres. The second number is the aspect ratio. That is the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the tread width. So it would be 225x75% fir example.
