Another tire question...am I crazy?

    I have a 2022 TRD Sport long bed coming in a couple weeks. I've got a set of 17" TRD Pro wheels to slap on it. I also had the chance to pick up a set of 265/70R/17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W at a good price but they are the LT version with an E load rating...52 lbs each corner for the tire alone! Are these going to be huge overkill? I'm not doing a lot of towing, some mild off-roading, possibly a slide in camper bed.
    I'd appreciate input of some folks who know a lot more about this than I do.
    TIA

    I run E load tires. Gives me a little more confidence offroad. Lowered the tire pressure to 30 front, 25 rear. I’m happy. YMMV.

    Never enough
    That much extra weight in a tire not much bigger than stock is not ideal. I'd look for some C load tires if you could. I've got 33" E load Nitto Ridge Grapplers and they weight the same as those Wildpeaks...
