Duratracs in c or e load range?

Looking to order some new duratracs 265/75r16 for my '06 access cab. Question is load range c or e? I do about 20% off road. I know technically the differences between the two of them, ply, weight capacity, etc. Just curious, any bad experiences with the c load ranges? Will they hold up just as well as the e's?

Appreciate your input...

 

Load C will be erfectly fine for your truck, i run load E grabbers but everyone will say load E is overkill, i had load c duratracs there nice tires.

 

^ The stock tires are P rated (passenger). Some fullsize 1/2 ton trucks also come with P rated tires.

Load range C will be fine for you OP. Unless you plan to rock crawl over sharp rocks which can slice the weaker side wall of the load C tire.

 

I like the ride of my load E general grabber at2's better than the load c duratrac i had, idk im weird i know.

 

I was thinking the same thing about gas mileage with the lighter c's. And tirerack has them with a nice mail in rebate right now.

Thanks for the input.

 

Get the C's

MPG, acceleration, ride quality will all be negatively affected by a heavier E load tire. I know lots of people run Load E on a Tacoma, but I think they are nuts.

 

My C class 265/75/16's duratracs are awesome. Not to harsh but can standup to some good off roading.

 

I run E class, just because I couldn't find 285s on C class.

 

E if it's the only option. It's too much for a mid size truck. Our trucks cannot carry the weight a 10 ply E is designed for. All it does is make for a stiffer ride and more rolling weight.

 

I'd run C's but the Duratrac's only come in E ratings in the size I need.

 

I have a 4x4 4cyl. Just got C rated.

 

lol

i dont even have E's on my 2500 Diesel 4x4 ..

wayyy overkill for a 1/4 ton truck like a tacoma

 

affirmative

 

Yeah, I am def sold on the c's

 

I run C load tires on my patrol truck through some pretty nasty terrain with lots of sharp rocks. So far I have not had a tire failure due to sidewall damage.

 

C without a doubt. Even my Jeep buddies I offroad with said no need for E

 

i run E on mine. when i take it to the beach i can let out a lot of air out and still be ok.

 

you can let the air out on C's as well and actually get sidewall flex..

E's have a myriad of benefits over C's but offroading and airing down is not one of them..

 

You forgot loss of MPG, harsher ride, higher price, more work for the engine

 

If you need E's you'll know it. Go for Cs.
