LT-rated tires in the same 'size' as P-rated tires, are built stronger, with more material which makes the tire stronger, and more durable, and heavier.
P-rated tires also have their load rating reduced by a factor of 1.1, when mounted on a truck or SUV.

Besides the p verses LT ratings, the KO2 also come in two load ranges: C and E. The E load range, which is what I got, have more plys, thus are more suitable for rocky off roading. The added plies, while making them more durable, also make them heavier.
Not sure why you are interested in the tire weight? For serious off roading, you want durability and resistant to sharp rocks. The higher load rating gives you that.
