E rated at tires

Looking for opinions dd with e rated at tires. Debating goin with 275 70r 17 ko2 s, e. 2" lift. Prefer not goin 3" up, 285's and cmc & pinch weld mod. Mahalo

 

I run E load 285’s and they ride super smooth and comfortable. I love them, zero complaints or issues about them.

 

For a Tacoma they are over kill! D rated would be great, saves weight on the tires. "E" rated are more for full size trucks. I believe the Ford Raptor comes with "D" rated KO2's.

 

I got 10plys its not bad they last a long time and never had a flat with them. I found tire pressure was the key thing for me.

 

Hop in a truck with E load ko2's and then one with C load duratracs. It'll be a pretty easy choice if weighing comfort.

 

I daily 285/70r17 E-load BFG ko2’s, and have been for the last 4 years about.

Good:
-They hold heavy bed/ trailer loads super well
-I’ve never punctured a tire offroad

Bad:
-Dailying with them, you feel EVERY crack on the road, not bumps, but cracks.
-Weight is higher than a C or D, worse mpg

Neutral:
-have to air down a LOT to get them to open up the tread due to Tacoma’s lighter weight
-most tire sizes and models I would consider, only come in E

When I eventually get 35” tires, I am going to seriously try to get something I like in a D load, which for my use is a good compromise between daily comfort and offroad durability.

 

i run E range in stock size, 265/65-17. Cooper AT3 LT. these tires are hard as little fucking rocks. and i love them.

and i call this Good, not bad. preferences...

 

275/70/17 KO2’s - E rated. 25k miles later and zero complaints. Didn’t affect trucks performance by a noticeable difference, went down my maybe 1.5MPG.

 

I run XLT’s and I think they’re smooth

 

XLT's do not come in 265/65-17. if they did i would have bought them. the difference between even 265/70 to 265/65 with E range tires is absolutely huge. even 265/70's are butter compared to the same tires in my size. you should take a ride with me! and i run 30psi front & 29psi rear and it will rattle your damn teeth off.

 

I run 285/75r16’s. 32psi (+-2psi) in each tire according to chalk test
