    Need your guys opinions. I'm trying to decide between cooper at3s c rated tire or the cooper at e rated tire. Both around the same price range. Only tires they have in stock at 265/75/16. I'm still on stock trd suspension.

    the AT3 in a C rated in a 265/75R16 size will be my next tire for sure!

    265/75R16 will fit without any rubbing.


    E's would be far to overkill for my use, and unless you are doing some gnarly off roading constantly, stick with the C rated.

    C rating will make for a softer ride. I would go c over e all day if it was my choice. I had d rated stock size BFG ats on my truck for a time after having C rated tires on there and the difference in firmness and the heavy tire feel was pretty shocking. You get used to it but it's something to keep in mind.
