One has to be careful when recommending "LT" tires. You don't want to put a true LT tire on a vehicle that came with P-metric tires...load and inflation tables are different.
"LT" in the general sense, meaning "light truck" tires, as in Firestone Destination LE, et al, I agree with. But not an LT-sized tire, such as LT245/70R17. In this case, a P245/70R17 is the appropriate tire specification.
I don't like using the abbreviation LT because it's confusing. Someone can take it to mean the "Light Truck" tire segment, or someone can take it to mean an LT-size specification (like LT245/70R17).
