>"LT"...: light truck.  do they require special "LT" tires?

I very much doubt that stands for Light Truck... more likely a German
acronym, or just an off-the-head "name". The LT goes back at least
into the early 80s, when it used the first-generation Audi 100 engine
( the second-gen 100 was sold in USA as 5000).

These are probably too heavy for any car tire. They are sold in USA
as Mercedes Sprinter and Freightliner. I wonder who actually designed
them... VW or MB?
