As far as I know they should be the same, but am not sure, I wanted to mention
that when I changed my tires from P (3ply wall) to LT (6ply wall) found out
later that the LT tires did not have road hazard as was explained that with the
LT I could go to the lake off road and go fishing (which I did with the P).
Check the Road Hazard if you do not go off road and would rather have the road
side. I do find them stiffer, as far as size, I went up in size so there is no
way to compare.
