BFG KO2 C-vs-E ?'s

Do you have first hand experience with C and E load rating KO2's sidewall and tread puncture resistance? Can you share?

 

I’ve run both in 265 70 17 and had no issues.
I have 285 70 17 in C load now, work great. The Raptor came spec’d with the same tires for a while, bigger heavier truck.
What area you live in? What are you doing with your truck ?

 

What are you going for?

E's are way more in stock, much easier to find and purchase incase one is destroyed.

I prefer offroading with E's simply knowing I have the thickest tire I could have purchased.

I have standard load winters, so I save my fuel when they are on

 

I currently run a 265/70/17 C on my Tacoma and 285/70/17 C on my wife’s JK. I like them, they are lighter and when aired down, give a good contact patch. I ran a 315/70/17 E on my previous Ram. The only flat I ever had on the Es was doing about 80 on the 10 East, in the fast lane, just outside Palm Springs. I hit some big metal object and lost my RR tire. It sounded like a gunshot. Tore the tire up and my RR bedside and exhaust. I was able to stop the truck with full control. The rim was undamaged. I attribute that to the heavy tire carcass of the E tire.
It’s a give and take. E range seems to hold up well, but they are heavy. I suspect they have less contact patch when aired down, but you can also air them down farther without losing a bead. I could drop those Es on my Ram to 12 lbs and you would hardly notice, that’s what makes me think the contact patch isn’t as long as a softer tire.
