BFG All-Terrain TA KO Tire Codes

Does anyone know the difference between these two BF Goodrich All-Terrain TA KO's?

LT 265/70R16 D 117S
LT 265/70R16 RWL LRD

The first tire is D rated according to the BFG website. But what does the 117S stand for? And what's the difference between a simple "D" and "LRD"?

I'm assusing the second tire RWL stands for "raised white lettering" and the LRD stands for "load range d"

I thought all of these tires had raised white lettering so why is it listed on one and not the other?

I got these from a list at my local Toyota dealer,,,he didn't know the difference between the two tires...maybe someone else can help.

 

117S is the service description.

D and LRD are the same thing (Load Range D).

RWL is Raised white letters
