"If you use passenger car tires, the ride quality will suffer due to them being a softer ride."
Well that is certainly debatable. When I first got the 96, it had nice expensive highway tires, non LT. It was awesome, rode better, better on bumps, better on turns. Even took trip to upper Saskatchewan, 4 others n luggage, was great ride for everyone. Also, got great mileage. BUT, living up here, on a jeep trail in the mountains, did not last 2 summers, too many punctures. So went with heavier all seasons, so could use more of the year, in snow and mud. But I still think back fondly on those tires.
""So LT tires will give a softer ride ""
NO exactly the opposite! However, LT tires will be stiffer, which many prefer, many like the more responsive steering, as less tire flex.
