Default Tire Sizing. What do all these letters mean?

I drive my husbands ranger. It's a 2002 sport. Someone before us put 17in tires on it. Well now I am needing to buy new ones. Husband is deployed and I'm lost. The current size is p235/65r17 103T. I just purchased 4 online that are 235/65r17 108V XL TL BSW MS932 Sport Milestar brand since they were the cheapest, $85. Vs everything else for $200. Like I said in bad need of them since the thread is showing. Will these be ok? Or so I need to plan to return them? :/ or tell the people to do a higher psi even though the door sticker says 30psi? I'm so lost. It also has other unknown problems and some mechanics like to run over most women money wise because we have no idea what is what, especially where I live. Thanks for your time!!

Those should work just fine. the r just means the tires are radials (in general last longer) p means passenger vehicle. the three digit number is the tread wear rating and the letter after that is the load rating
