  I would put a light truck tire on a Suburban for sure. It's a heavy vehicle, I think that alone puts you in the LT tire. If you every tow or put 7 people and luggage in it, you'll need that extra capacity.

  My daughter that lives in California needs four tires for her 1986 or 1987 Chev. 2-wheel drive Saburban. I think she said it is called a Silvarado 20 or something like that. She will be driving it for errands and 50 mile one way trips from Riverside County to Orange County and back every few weeks -- not daily. She would not be driving off-road or in anything more than rain or a light snow. It would be most unusual to drive to the mountains and then not likely in snow. Can't "totally" rule out light snow as she could be there 1% chance when it begins to snow and then has to escape home to safety.

  Firestone said that she MUST put "10 ply tires" on her Suburban! Is that true or are they taking advantage of her lack of knowledge?

  They are saying she "must" because if they don't they could have a lawyer slapping them with a lawsuit if the non-LT tire blows out. I'll be honest, I would not put a regular passenger car tire on the truck. I've seen it done but don't think it's worth the risk.
