I'm a tire installer/technician. The "P" does stand for ''passenger" but it doesn't mean it for just passenger cars. There's the P metric which is made by American standard and then there the euro metric. When tires that doesn't have a P in front of the tires it's euro metric. The Euro metric tires are normally found on European made cars. Main difference is that euro metric have a higher load index. There are a few light truck(LT) tires that uses the P metric system.
I JUST bought these tires at this price from Sullivan Tire, a local chain, so it may not be Wal-Mart specific. YMMV
I think P is Passenger. What car do you have?

If you need 225/55r17 these will work just installed them replacing 225/55r17 on my ls430

I bought them for a Mazda 6. The Mazda uses 225/55/17. Walmart would not install them on my car. I went to discount tire with the tires and they installed them with a warranty for $209

Quote from arm&hammer :
Not true, I've had the Michelin Defender on my Subaru Outback for 6 years and the traction is still good with about 1/3 of the tread left at 60,000 miles. They may last 80,000 miles on my car.

These are the longest lasting and best traction tires I have ever owned. Not overpriced for what you get lasting over 60,000 miles. I also have never had them rebalanced in 6 years so that has also saved me money and time replacing tires.

Rebalancing actually saves you time and money because it evenly wears the tire across the contact point. It also improves the safety of it as well. What you explained is counter intuitive to the effect that you said you want to get.

I have an old MDX with 235/65/17 on it. Can I use these, or are they too small?

overpriced as hell for what it is.

also such long treadlife (hard rubber) means the tire performance sucks. Less traction means it will trip your traction control and your engine will cut power to the wheels more often.

this is mainly for grandmas driving in the city under 40mph.
Thanks for the traction control comment. I did not know what caused this problem.

Rebalance is needed only if the tires get out of balance. You would notice that when driving. The tires should be rotated, though, on a regular basis.

Bought four of these (different size) about a month ago and they've been great so far. MUCH quieter than the Firestones I had previously.
How is the traction, given they are rated BB for dry and wet surfaces?

My car takes 225/55/17. Should I get these or the Goodyear Reliant that are $87 each?

Not meaning to be controversial nor to defy conventional wisdom, BUT... (1) Youtube car guru Scotty Kilmer recommends NOT rotating tires on an AWD vehicle, and (2) I have an AWD Subie... have periodically checked the tread depth.. has always been the same on all 4. IMV, no benefit to rotating them. (However, if you have a 2WD vehicle, may be some benefit to "spreading the wear".)

In my AWD SUV, the front tires wear out MUCH faster than the rear ones. I agree - if the wear is uniform then there is no benefit to rotation.

Has anyone had luck getting Walmart to install these in place of 225/55/17 tires on a car? My choice is either these ones or the Goodyear Reliant that are $87 each.

Hey fellow ls430 Chad. How are these tires working out for you?
