255-70 C's 17-18 avg
245-75 E's 16-17 avg
my 1/8th mile times were better with the C's
overall ride quality.. other than noise, better with the E's

| Post subject: | load range E or C? |
I have been trying to find out through other threads if a C tire would be ok to put on my kk. from what i have read it seems like some kjs have C tires but i havent found a kk that runs C tires. so i guess what do you guys think is C ok or should i get E tires? if someone could explain the difference and thatd be helpful too. i know its a load range difference and i think a ply difference? but how should this affect my decision on what tire to buy? sorry i dont know much about tires but i figured someone here could help me out thanks for the help everybody |

The only real reason to run E's is so that when you're offroad - you can air them down to 15-18 psi and they'll stay on the rims... (awesome on MTR's) that and some of the tires style/sizes folks want only come in E's there is no load range reason to run anything more than SL/P tires on a Liberty and generally the lighter weight will get you better mileage |

youll get alot of opinions on load range. the load e should only be used on larger, heavier vehicles or if you do alot of heavy towing, maybe. load c are lighter then e, in turn wont rob as much hp and mgp and softer so will conform to whatever terrain easier while aired down. |

We run load range E Goodyear M/T R Kevlar's in a 245-75-16 size. The Heep handles excellent. Off road we air down to as low as 10 psi without incident. Excellent tough truck tires. |

thanks for the opinions guys. i dont do much towing and its mostly a daily driver-weekend warrior so i think im gonna be going with the Cs. seems to me like that is the better choice for my application. |

C's should do fine, i had a set of D's that tread wallowed really bad but they were low ply, cheap, and my jeep is heavier than the avg lead sled i've been satisfied with the 2 sets of D's and E's I've ran though if i didn't have so much metal hangin off of it plus rear cargo I could probably get away with P's or C's |

I run these as well. I like the side wall protection with all the cactus, stumps, and rocks I encounter on my property or when I visit Big Bend area. |

215/85r16 load range e, 18.5 mpg. I drive on the beach alot and a shell popped one of my old tires so I just went with the E. No problems with that now. |

Like getting flats and just LOVE being stranded way out in the woods? Load range C is for you my friend! You say "But I don't go off-road friend". So.... You: Need a tire that 'wifey doesn't hassle you about because she wants "quiet" when she makes all those trips to the mall because she really needs a car but wants the SUV image and won't jolt and spill her latte? Load range C is for you! The decision is yours though. A truck tire carcass that is tougher and yes, noisier and stiffer, or a passenger car tire. Choose according to your needs and whatever the boss says you can choose. Solidarity Always! |

E's aren't magic - I've cut the sidewalls on them too.... |

I’m running “P” rated tires on both Jeeps and haven‘t had any problems with sidewall punctures or flats. The tires are super light. The downside is that you can’t find a hardcore “P” rated M/T tire. I’ll be forced to go with a “C, D, E” rated M/T tire the next time I put 32” inch tires on the XJ. |
