    I was looking at toyo open country at3 and saw that 285/70/17 6 ply was heavier than the 10 ply. Why could that be? Shouldn’t c load be lighter because of the thinner side wall?

    Same with the Falken AT3W. I asked if this was correct and all I got was "yes". I suspect the "C" has more rubber and less steel the the "E".
