Post subject:  Revo Confusion - Help!
Ok, decided on the Revos. Went to look them up and found this mess:

Quote:
245/75SR16 C
Outlined White Letters Serv. Desc: 108/104S Price Each: $144

245/75SR16
Outlined White Letters Serv. Desc: 109S Price Each: $115

245/75RR16 E
Outlined White Letters Serv. Desc: 120/116R Price Each: $149

All Revo's, all the same size. 3 different "service description"s, 3 different prices! What gives?? and what do I order?

the thread titled Load Range Requirement? is basically the same question.
you may find answers there.

Ok, thanks!

i'm not sure whether to get the "C" load range, "E" load range, or the tires that don't seem to display a load range. The difference in price is pretty noticable,
the "E" range tires are $149.00 and weigh 48lbs.,
the "C" range tires are $144.00 and weigh 41lbs.
and the no load range specified tires, which i'm assuming are standard load tires, which have a higher load rating than the "C" tires are $115.00 and weigh 39lbs.


So, if I'm reading this correctly, then the tires he refers to as the "standard tires" are the ones the TireRack has listed in my original post as the "Serv. Desc.: 109S" tires? If I get them locally I assume I will end up with these?

Is this what most people here get?

Yes, that was my post, and the 109S tires are the ones that i stated had no service description. It's funny that i came across this thread, because i have the exact same question. As far as i know, from the answers i got here, the 109S ($115) tires will get the job done.

From what the guy told me at Costco the ones without the load rating are meant for passenger cars. I ended up getting the 245/75SR16 C.

Yes, C and E denote light truck (LT) tires. The other one is a passenger tire. C and E rated tires have more plies and thus more load rating. They should be better for towing, wheeling, etc. I have a set of the Cs sitting in my garage and they were great on road and off. I was afraid that E rated tires might be too stiff, but now I'm running MTRs with a load rating of E and they are just fine.


Here is a general rule of thumb:
Road Queen/Light Wheeling = Passenger Tire
Light/Moderate Wheeling = C
Moderate/Difficult Wheeling = E

Post subject:  abc s of tires
Any tire with a 'p' in front of the size is a 4 ply tire. 'p' stands for passenger.older tires will have a 'b' for the load range.For every letter in the load range = 2 plys .so a 'b'= 4 plys 'c' = 6 plys 'd'=8 plys 'e' = 10 plys and so on.just keep in mind that if you put on a E range tire on your libby.That tires is rated for 80 psi . Only run 32 psi or whatever you run now. :lol:

I've been running the passenger-rated Revos for a couple of years now, no problems. Two of the tires have big chunks torn out of them.

If you spend a lot of time crawling around sharp rocks (like Big Bear), you probably oughtta get thicker sidewalls, but these are fine for dirt and slickrock.

Since I'm locked in the rear, I'm grinding through these tires pretty quickly...less than 20K miles, and they're already worn within 30%. I may get new ones before Moab.
