Lt vs P Tires

Wife works with Michelin Tire and we get discounts and years of service awards for tires. I am limited to Michelin, BFG and Uniroyal. I am wanting a 275/70R18 so my two choices are the new Michelin LTX A/T2 which is an LT tire and E rated. The other choice is the BFG Rugged Trail which is P Rated. One other option I have is to go with a the Michelin Cross Terrian which they have in a 265/70R18.

All these tires are around 33" overall height which is what I am looking for. So these are my options unless I drop more $$$$$ than I want to change what seems to be an odd ball rim in the 18" x 7.5.

Based on your replies it appears most of you are steering me away from the E rating and that would probably be the right thing to do since I will be doing very little towing or hauling. My only other thought is that this is a truck and if and when I need to use it like one I would be prepared.

Decisions, Decisions!!!
