C or E load range on Wrangler Mt/R's

I've been researching Tires for Months and I finally ordered a set Today from Sears. I ordered 4 Goodyear Wrangler Mt'/R's in 265/70 17's load range C. Every time I make a big purchase I always second guess my decision. Should I have gone with a load range E,or is the C the best choice?

 

What kind of driving are you doing?

Street: Load Range C
Street/Light off-road: Load Range C is probably fine
Street/Moderate off-road: Load Range C will work, but you should consider E
Moderate/Heavy off-road: Load Range E

That by no means covers 100% of all circumstances; it's very, very basic. You need to examine what you need out of the tire. One note: The Load Range E tires are going to be a good bit heavier than the C.

 

Load range E is designed to haul more weight, they also work well in rocky environments due to the extra plys. Unless you carry a lot of weight, or drive in very rocky terrain often, load range C is perfect for the Tacoma.
Also the added unsprung weight that the load range E tires would add changes the way the suspension acts and feels.

 

Op don't get the mtr there was a member here that got the 265 load c and they didn't even last long I'd recommend going with the Duratracs for daily driving and also they do good in mud.

 

you will get more tire foot print if you go with C when airing down.

 

Just got the tires put on my truck yesterday, I ordered and paid for load range "c" but "e" is what showed up and installed on my truck. I got a smoking deal at Sears $980.72 O.T.D. I went with the MT/R based on primarily looks and off-road performance not tire wear. I only drive about 7-8 K per year so I should get about 3 years out of these tires, by then I will be ready for a change anyways.

 

I got 50K out of my first set of MTR's and they still had 1/3 of the tread left when I swapped them for another new set of MTR's.



They still hooked up just fine with that amount of tread.
I ran the Rubicon on those tires with no issue.

 

I just bought the Wrangler MT/R's 265/75R16, set of 4, $150 each, $723 OTD from Big O.
They said they were last year's model, and they were on sale to move them out.
I'm hoping for 50K out of them, and getting thru the snow and mud here on our dirt roads.

 

Honestly the Kevlars are weird tires some people have good expierence and others have bad I guess I've just seen the bad.

 

mud terrains in general will not last as long as all terrain tires because of their treads
