Light truck tyres might last longer,
But if higher profile might throw your speedo out

Light truck good but can make for a bumpier ride than car tyres, they have thicker side walls and more ply. There is also a wider than standard light truck tyre which is a cross between the 2, I think it is a 195. If you are revving high then go bigger for more speed lower revs.
