Default Tire question

Im throwing some meaner tires on my truck for the snowy moths.
Just wondering if im asking for trouble using LT tires in the back
and P tires on the front. Im leaning away from the idea, but am open to opinions. I have 2 nice lts and 2 mean looking p tires.
I know I don’t want to mix p and lt on the same ale though.
Thanks a million.
ps its a 1990 f150 4x4

P are passenger car tires and LT are for light trucks. The LTs have a higher load carrying capacity. I use whatever I get my hands on and don't have any problems.

Ideally, would like to have the same tire all the way around on a 4x4, if for nothing else, looks.

But, I don't see any problems with what you're describing. Just have to be sure all tires are the same height, especially when operating in 4WD on those patches of clear pavement.

Thanks a million.
Id rather have good tread all the way around than have all 4 lts.
At the moment I have the 2 good lts on the front and the 2 not so good lts on the back.
Ones on the back have tread but the one side of the tire is worn down like they where on a truck with bad ball joints.
One thing though this is the first time ive ever had LTs on this truck,
I must say I sure like the feel of lts apposed to the p tires.
Makes it feel more truck like
