The only thing I'd be worried about other then the funny looks and the self pitty would be the load rating, I dunno if all car tires are strong enough for a truck.

1996+ runners came w/ passenger tires from the facotry. they are simply P instead of LT tires and have lower load ratings.
tread design and overall diameter are much more important.
a mild street tire w/ a diameter matched for your gear ratio is as good as it gets- and that's usually whatever the tire size listed on the VIN plate says.

ACtually, yes I use P rated street tread tires on my other truck in the summer - even though it's 4wd - it rides soooo much smoother and quieter and actually corners better too! They're 285/60R18 (essentially 32x11.50) Hankooks. I love em.

there ar etruck passenger tires and regular car passenger tires... they arent the same as but they can probably still work... most tires now a days are sold on trucks are passenger tires due to being softer and smoother than a truck tire....
heres the point i am making... if it came down to deciding to put on a p235/75/15 firestone 380 or a p235/75/15 comanche h/t i would put on the actually truck tires..... the firestone 380 although sold in the size that would fit, is the same type of tire that came stock on my sisters civic... for some reason, i i would rather have a truck tire on the street than a civic tire under my truck

and on heavier trucks the P sizes don't last as long either. But I think the tires that come on trucks being P tires have nothing to do with ride and everything to do with cost savings....
