    I'd probably go with the E1's if you're planning on off-roading with them, yes they're heavier but the tougher carcass if your friend when crawling on rocks and such.

    Buying tires for looks instead of function is like wearing pink hiking boots to dance in the Nutcracker.

    Pick tires for how you use the truck 90% of the time, and if you have choices at that point, consider looks.

    Get the SLs as the Es will be too stiff for mostly street driving and will be a rough ride.
    I run the SLs and been to Moab and Ouray several years now and ran out at 75-80 then air down and beat them never a problem.
    Es if you are always heavily loaded or lots of rock crawling and can live with the stiff sidewalls.

    Besides function, I also consider if I like the design ( look ) of the tire as well. If tire and wheel looks good together etc. Some don't care about that but to to each their own.
