Decided to go with a Nitto Terra Grappler. Looking at a 285/70/R17. Can someone tell me the difference between a Nitto P285 and a Nitto LT285? The P285 says 117S and the LT285 says E 126R.

Thanks

 

Think it's different load rating

 

So which one should I get?

 

Its a the LT is a Load range E tire vs a Load range D.

If you use your truck for hauling or towing get the LT, otherwise the P will give you better ride quality.

 

On a 295 the width is around 12.50 and a 33.19 inch tire. A 285 is closer to an 11.50 width but is 32.72 tire. What's a better width for an 03 super crew?

 

Theres no way a 295 is a 12.50 because a 305 is a 12 and a 315 is barely a 12.50

 

I just ordered some 2857017s biggest size that can fit on our stock wheels with out bubbling out

 

It's a 12.13

 

I'll also be getting a 2.5 inch leveling kit. Which size is best?

 

Yeah, different tire manufacturers run different. But if you convert the metric mm sizes 305mm is real close to 12" and 315 is real close to 12.5" i know a mud grappler 315 is almost 13" wide while just about any other tire brands 315 is 12.2-12.5"
