My construction business bought a 2nd hand Nissan NP200 open back van a few years back. It came with Nissan SOUTH AFRICA factory fitted Barum Brilliantis with aprox 30K kilometers on. Not long after we popped a rear tire on a trip out of town under load, heat, age, etc. I read on the tire wall that it is not a commercially graded van tire, rather an 'extra load tire'. I assume this is a glorified passenger tire with some improvements none which qualifies it as a 'LT' (light truck) tire.
I have now purchased a new NP 200, again fitted with the above mentioned tire and after only 2k kilometers it took a thorn in the side wall tire and it is beyond fixing.
I searched online and phoned Tiger Wheel Malibongwe drive asking for a Hankook Vantra LT same as I bought a few years back for our other vans, but they cannot source them. Blairgowrie Lombard tires recommend another sub grad glorified passenger tire; the Goodyear Dura Grip again branded as an extra load tire, but not an LT tire.
I am amazed that I cannot source LT tires in South Africa, looks like I am forced to replace with Barum Brilliantis as the end users do not want to pay or understand the need for a LT tire on their LT trucks/vans (assuming tire manufacturers don't keep stock due to no/low demand)

Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.
