    Calling all tire experts.

    Please explain the difference between these two Nittos, other than the price.......

    Beyond the 265/70R17, I don't know anything else about the numbering system:

    1. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/d...c=40204&counter=1&ar=70&rd=17&sw=false&cs=265

    2. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/d...c=40385&counter=1&ar=70&rd=17&sw=false&cs=265

    I've been a diehard BF Goodrich AT buyer for many years, but I'm seriously considering these instead. I know a lot of board members here love them and they get great reviews.

    Thanks.

    Spacer lift, bumper stickers, ejector seat, etc.
    My best guess would be a difference in traction, speed, treadlife, weight, and heat ratings.

    One is a load range "D", and the other (more expensive one) is a Load range "E".

    x2, you don't need the e and its heavier so it would be better to go with the "D" rated tire.
