The LT tires are more heavily built and have different sidewall and tread characteristics, etc.

Could you put passenger tires on a GMC? Sure, they'd fit and look good, but unless I was immediately selling the GMC to someone I hated I wouldn't do it! Even if I hated them I wouldn't do it because I love GMCs.

Tires are not a good place to try to save money (that's the only reason, right?), especially when that comes at a cost of a less substantial tire.
