If you have used LT rated tires did you see lower gas mileage and/or a harsher ride?

I switched from P rated to LT tires on my 96 F-150 because of the higher weight rating on the LT tires. I had started carrying an overhead camper, so weight was an issue.

I noticed no difference in mileage. With the camper loaded the ride was always comfortable. Without the camper, so so.
