    Ya a little bit. I have e rated tired on my dclb and I don't mind the stiffer ride. But if you ever need to air down they can be a pain. That being said I've never had a flat

    Depends on where you are going. I sure wished I had E tires a few weeks ago when I got a nice inch long cut in my 6 ply tire from a sharp rock on a freshly graded woods road.

    Don't run them at the psi listed on the sidewall. Use the Chalk method to determine proper psi, and the ride should be fine.
