    Currently running BFG KO2s in Load E but i really feel like they ride rougher than they need to - especially on the cobble stone streets i drive on half the time. Vast majority of my offroading is sand or mud/dirt - so no real need for the extra side wall protection.

    Really just wish the KO2s came in Load C at something around a 32.5"

    Thus, any recommendation of tires that come in Load C in a 275/70/17 tire size? I feel like i would have to re-gear at a 285, and i'm not really into the 255 skinnys.

    Run lower pressure, no need to change tires. Most guys run 25% higher than they need, I used to run 28psi on my Duratrac E's and they were way smoother than when they were at 38-40 to start.

    I'll have to air down a bit and see how it helps - these KO2s are about worn out so i will have to buy a new set in the next couple months anyways. Figured they might be a bit lighter in Load C as well.
