I first notice these types of tires in US a few years ago (+/- 2014) when Ford introduced the new Transit in US (different size though). The single rear wheel Transit vans and wagons use tires much smaller than my E-350 LT tires yet their Load index is actually higher. They are more expensive than LT tires, in part because there are fewer manufacturers making them, hence less competition. I expect they are also more expensive because they are built to handle greater loads.
i would avoid continental tires, they make many weird versions for oem applications and are hard to get a replacement when you need one,
